THE CRISIS, Columbus, Ohio, March 5, 1862 The most notable content would be the lengthy back page report headed: "Inauguration of Jeff. Davis as President of the Bogus Confederacy" as taken from the Richmond Enquirer Extra. The full text is: "The Inaugural Address".
Among other articles in this issue are: "Why Negroes should not Settle in Ohio!" "...The Important Position of Kentucky on the War" "The Killed & Wounded on the Federal Side at Fort Donelson" "Reflection on the Present Crisis" "Abolitionism the Cause of the War" "Free Negroes In Ohio" and more.
Eight pages, nice condition.
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.
