18661009808vo one sheet printed on both sides. Even toning and aging small closed tear to the upper margin; otherwise very good. This is a rather scarce government document that informs the military that the "Thirteenth Amendment" has passed and slavery is officially abolished. Article XIII states "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude except as a punishment for a crime whereby the party shall have been duly convicted shall exist within the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction." This document is signed in type by William H. Seward 1801-1872 as the Secretary of State. Congress would follow with a Civil Rights Act of 1866 to give African Americans the same rights as all citizens but this small printed document presenting the essence of the "Thirteenth Amendment" is an important piece of history.

186335588Auburn N.Y. 1863. Broadside 8" x 12-1/4". Very Good.<br/><br/> Congressman Pomeroy of Auburn who represented New York in Congress during the Civil War years and early Reconstruction has high praise for Colonel Clark serving on the staff of General Banks and recently wounded in the advance on Port Hudson. In the earliest days of the War during the Baltimore disorders he "mingled during the day and following night with the populace and rioters gathered all possible information and on the following morning returned to Washington and laid the information before the military authorities. Communications with Annapolis being cut off he accepted the hazardous position of bearer of dispatches from the War Department to Gen'l Butler and of the seventeen messengers sent on that mission was the only one who succeeded in reaching his destination without arrest and that was accomplished only by a night march on foot of twenty-five miles in a country with which he was unfamiliar and by swimming the Patuxent within sound of the voices of the enemies sentinels." <br/>OCLC 768761257 1- Allen Cy Pub.
