An anti-war newspaper in Ohio... Mass. 54th Regiment...
Item # 707585
June 10, 1863
THE CRISIS, Columbus, Ohio, June 10, 1863 This was an anti-war newspaper that insisted that slavery should not be abolished, so much of its content has an anti-North bias.
Among the articles within are: "Vallandigham" "Inaugural Address of Thomas Jefferson" from 1801; "The Handwriting on the Wall ! - The Republicans Trembling at Their Own Acts & Trying to Escape through a Cry for Mercy, from the Great Avenger!" "The 54th Massachusetts Colored Regiment" about which the recent movie "Glory" was based; and more.
Eight pages, very nice condition.
Described as "The Hottest Rebel Sheet to be found in the North or the South", this newspaper attracted the hatred of the Republicans and the Lincoln administration. 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.
