- TWO LETTERS PENNED AS THE AMERICAN
TWO LETTERS PENNED AS THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR SEEMED INEVITABLE Both by Sam Nesmith to "Brother Robert," the first, 4to (9 in.), 4pp., Charlestown, (MA or NH), May 29, 1860, contains a self-composed "campaign song" reading in part: "... Old honest Abe we will elect/ the rights of all he will respect / The North and South, the East and West / Till all will praise and call him best..., plus a second letter, 4to (9 in.), also "Charlestown," January 3, 1861, states, We are on the very verge of war, there is no mistaking the time - the rebels and disunionists have been taught to believe that the power of the government would not be used against them, but their eyes will soon be opened. The President (Buchanan) has at last got his back bone up...I hope the President will do his duty...but I don't want any fighting, it will only make the trouble ten times worse. There's no trade now between the north and the south and if there is war it will be a sorry day for all parties concerned...I think the 7th regiment of NY could march there and take the state of S.C alone and unaided..."

Then peace freedom and prosperity will be secure?to you and your children after you.?Anonymously signed?by a?Democratic?Workingman but thought to be publisher-activist?Sinclair Tousey (1818-1887).?Saturday ?July 18 1863.?11.5 x 18 in. ?framed ?14.25 x?20.75 in.?Extremely rare for being issued so close?to the riots only a few institutional copies are known to exist.?The working classes of heavily-immigrant New York City had been lukewarm to the war from the start owing to the fact that a majority of the South's exports passed through the ports and markets of the city and therefore provided many immigrant jobs.? The Emancipation Proclamation of January 1863 strengthened immigrant opposition to the war as many foresaw free blacks migrating to the city in droves to compete for already low-paying jobs.? The conscription act was the final straw and local Democrats and Southern sympathizers seized on the opportunity to foment rebellion against blacks Republican supporters and newspaper offices and eventually federal troops resulting in what was likened to a Confederate victory.? Printer Samuel Tousey put his presses to work immediately plastering his Stop and Think! and Don't Unchain the Tiger! broadsides throughout the city in an attempt to quell the hysteria.? Although signed A Democratic Workingman Tousey was in fact a committed Republican.? His New York Times obituary of 1887 states that "he joined the Republican Party at its organization and throughout the war was on terms of intimacy with many of its leaders " and says of his anti-riot appeals such as the one offered here that "a most wholesome a effect was produced." Condition: Few spots on broadside otherwise near?very good to near excellent condition.?Cleaned and professionally repaired by the Paper Conservation Studio ?Inc. in 2008.?
