March 04, 1863
THE CRISIS, Columbus, Ohio, March 4, 1863 Among the various articles in this issue are: "A Timely Warning" "Are We a Military Despotism?" "Free Negroes in St. Louis--Abolition Philanthropy!" "Virginia Before the Abolition Raid" "Letter From the Army" and much more.
Eight pages, a vertical crease near the middle, good 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.
