THE CRISIS, Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 25, 1863 Described as "The Hottest Rebel Sheet to be found in the North or the South", this newspaper opposed the war and attracted the hatred of the Republicans and the Lincoln administration. It insisted that slavery could not be prohibited by law. So obnoxious was this paper to Unionists that it was denied circulation in some cities. In 1863 the press was raided by a hateful mob.
Among the various articles are: "The Poor Negro" "The Law Compelling the People...to go into the Army Against their Will by Force..." "Vallandigham in New Jersey" "The Horrors of Missouri" "Emancipation Loyalty--Anti-Emancipation, Treason! -- The Question Put!" "Shameless Corruption!" "Highly Important Movements & Rumors" "Letter from the Army" "From Kentucky" "Peace! Peace! Peace!!" "Causes of the Insurrection" and much more.
Eight pages, some very light damp stain, a vertical creases causes no loss, generally good.
