This original newspaper contains prominent front page "stacked" headlines with news of the CELEBRATION of their EMANCIPATION by FREED NEGR0 SLAVES in Wilmington, NC and Pittsburgh, PA in the aftermath of the ratification of the 13th amendment to the US Constitution in Dec, 1865. Slavery defined the foundational years of the United States socially and politically. Since 1776, labor from enslaved Africans was a vital cog in the American agricultural and economic machine. However, during the early 1800s, anti-slavery sentiment grew as those in power began to acknowledge the inherent immorality of the practice. Northern states began to phase out slavery while politicians like Massachusetts Senator Charles Sumner and Pennsylvania Representative Thaddeus Stevens pushed for abolition on a national scale. This was largely resisted by Southern states, though, since their mainly agricultural economy directly relied on slave labor to turn such large profits. This clash of ideologies between the North and the South would eventually boil over and spark the nearly four-year-long Civil War. During it, President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which declared slaves would be freed as of 1863, and he offered the Southern states re-entry into the Union if they, too, abolished slavery. Even after the end of the war, the Southern states did not readily accept this, making the Reconstruction of the United States challenging. The Thirteenth Amendment was proposed in 1864 to declare slavery unconstitutional, and with no Southern states present, was debated by Congress into 1865. The Amendment passed by a slight majority and was ratified by the United States in December, 1865. Good condition.
