Slavery: Impressive, Anti-Slavery Broadside
Anti-Slavery Broadside, "Southern Democracy!" Choice Very Fine. 21" x 15.75". A large, impressive broadside appealing to the laborers of the South to renounce the slavery mentality of their leaders. Under the banner headline "Southern Democracy!" is the sub-header "The object of the Southern Rebellion and of its Northern allies, is to render Slavery universal. Under the name of Democracy, they seek to deprive labor of all its right." Following are several quotes from newspapers, books, and individuals; here's an example: "The hand that is familiar with the plough handle should never be permitted to touch a ballot - John C. Calhoun." Another: "Providence has so ordered our internal relations as to make Negro Slavery an incalculable blessing to us - George W. Woodward." In excellent condition and a fantastic display piece.
