A Copperhead Newspaper Prints Then Criticizes the Emancipation Proclamation

186322448.01New York N.Y. 1863. No binding. Fine. New York Journal of Commerce. Newspaper. New York Journal of Commerce. New York N.Y. January 3 1863. 4 pp. 24 x 32 1/2 in. An early report of the Emancipation Proclamation where the editors describe Lincoln's bold move as ""a farce coming in after a long tragedy.Most of the people regard it as a very foolish piece of business."" Historical BackgroundThe Emancipation Proclamation was the single most important act of Lincoln's presidency. Its text reveals the major themes of the Civil War: the importance of slavery to the war effort on both sides; the courting of border states; Lincoln's hopes that the rebellious states could somehow be convinced to reenter the Union; the role of black soldiers; Constitutional and popular constraints on emancipation; the place of African Americans in the United States and America's place in a worldwide movement toward the abolition of slavery. In sounding the death knell for slavery and the ""Slave power"" the President took a decisive stand on the most contentious issue in American history and the United States joined other western nations in embracing a future of free labor.In addition to the moral impact of this ""sincerely believed.act of justice"" the Proclamation aided the Union cause tangibly and decisively. Because it focused on territory still held by the Confederacy only small numbers of slaves compared to the total slave population were immediately freed. However the Proclamation deprived the South of essential labor by giving all slaves a reason to escape to Union lines. Failing that it freed slaves immediately upon the Union Army's occupation of Confederate territory. The Proclamation also encouraged the enlistment of black soldiers who made a crucial contribution to the Union war effort. Moreover England and France who had already abolished slavery were restrained from supporting the Confederacy which would have been in their own economic interests. Lincoln summed up the Proclamation's importance in 1864: ""no human power can subdue this rebellion without using the Emancipation lever as I have done.""Nonetheless the editors of the Journal of Commerce disagreed and their opinion reflects the truly controversial nature of the act for many contemporary Americans.

18774837Miller's Bible and Publishing House 23,5 30,5 Montréal, Canada / Philadelphia 1877 Fort volume in-4, reliure de plein cuir vert sombre, dos à quatre nerfs et à six caissons ornés, deux portant le titre doré "Holy Bible", plats bisautés encadrés d'un triple filet et d'une guirlande dorés, entrelacs dorés au centre, dentelle sur les chasses, tranches dorées, VII-1011 p., Marriages (1 p.), Births (1 p.), Memoranda (1 p.), Family portraits (4 p., soit 16 emplacements de portraits en oval) et 4 p. non paginées, 9 gravures hors texte, dont celle de Gustave Doré "Daniel the Statesman-Prophet". La première traduction en anglais de la Bible hébraïque (Ancien Testament) a été, sur le sol américain, éditée et publiée à Philadelphie en 1854. Notre réédition date de 1877-78 (année hébraïque 5638 comme l'indique la page de titre). Isaac Leeser (1806-1868) est né en Allemagne et a émigré aux Etats-Unis en 1824. Il a été le rabbin de la Synagogue Mikweh Israel à Philadelphie et le créateur du premier périodique juif au Etats-Unis (The Occident). Il a été un promoteur très actif de la culture juive aux Etats-Unis, face au risque d'assimilation ou de protestantisation. Il rappelle au début de la préface son objectif "a desire entertained for more than a quarter of a century, since the day he quitted school in his native land to come to this country, to present to his fellow-Israelites an English version, made by one of themselves, of the Holy Word of God." Sa traduction est une oeuvre de foi : "The translator is an Israelite in faith, in the full sense of the word : he believe in the Scriptures as they have been handed down to us". La traduction de Leeser s'est imposée comme un "standard" jusqu'aux travaux de la Jewish Publication Society (JPS). La page de titre porte la mention "Abraham de Sola, LLD. Montréal, Canada". De Sola (1825-1882), ministre de la Synagogue espagnole et portugaise de Montréal, fut un des continuateurs de Leeser. Coiffes abîmées, mors fendus en tête et en queue, légère déreliure entre les pages VIIet VII, coins un peu émoussés, petite réparation en bas des pages 17-18-19-20, bon intérieur.(EvB19) PHOTOS NUMERIQUES DISPONIBLES PAR EMAIL SUR SIMPLE DEMANDE-DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPS MAY BE AVAILABLE ON REQUEST
