A propos de cet article

The Union victory issue of William Lloyd Garrison's long-running and highly influential newspaper, The Liberator, published the morning of Friday, April 14, 1865; mere hours before the assassination of President Lincoln. The first issue of Garrison's important radical abolitionist newspaper was published on January 1, 1831, and ran every week for the next thirty-five years, ending with the final issue of December 29, 1865. Not knowing the pall which would fall upon the country later this day, this issue of The Liberator abounds with joyous expressions for the end of the war, celebrating both the fall of Richmond on April 3 and the surrender of Lee on April 9. Under a heading titled "The Death of the Slaveholders' Rebellion," the editors proclaim that "We go to press this week in the midst of universal jubilation. The air is filled with the music of bells and the reverberation of cannon; no demonstration of delight seems too extravagant, no expression of gratitude is adequate to the occasion. The celebration of the capture of Richmond was measured for four years of premature congratulations and prophecies have taught us to distrust success itself; but the news of Lee's surrender to Gen. Grant was the signal for a popular demonstration unequalled since the fall of Sumter." Additionally, the lead article on page one reports on the proceedings of a "Great Jubilee Meeting at Faneuil Hall, in honor of the fall of Richmond," and the fall of Richmond and surrender of Lee are well represented by both official dispatches and articles from correspondents. Looking towards the official end of hostilities, other articles discuss terms of peace and particularly advise against the lenience suggested by Copperheads or peace-minded Republicans such as Horace Greeley. Unsurprisingly given the paper's name and pedigree, the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment is another major topic of discussion, and this issue includes progress updates as well as a long and forceful speech in its favor by Maryland Senator John Cresswell. As of this issue, the amendment had been unanimously accepted by Tennessee (the twentieth state to ratify) and roundly rejected by Kentucky (which would in fact not vote to ratify for over a century). Two other articles broach the topic of equitable wages for women (through a speech by Anna Dickinson) and the possibility of women's suffrage, which one correspondent "thinks the war has prepared the people to consider.favorably." A brief mention is also given to Secretary of State William Seward's recent accident, stating that "Secretary Seward met with a serious accident on the 5th. He jumped from his carriage when the horses were running away, and fractured an arm and injured his face. His son, F.W. Seward, also jumped out, and escaped uninjured." The evening this paper was printed, Seward and his son would both suffer further injuries when attacked by assassins in conspiracy with Booth. The official government circular reporting the incident noted that "About the same time [as Lincoln's assassination], an attempt was made to assassinate the Secretary of State in his own house while he was in bed suffering the effects of the late accident. The attempt failed, but Mr. Seward was severely cut, on the face especially, it is supposed with a bowie knife. Mr. F. W. Seward was felled by a blow or blows on the head, from the assassin, and for some time afterwards was apparently unconscious." The issue closes with the dramatic news that The Liberator would cease publication at the end of the year, as "the work of the Liberator, as such, is done.freedom has triumphed, and the oppressed are free." Also present are several songs celebrating the downfall of the Confederacy and assorted other notes, including the brief but noteworthy statement that "All new dies made at the U.S. Mint for coining money are to bear as a national motto, 'In God we Trust.' in accordance with the special act of the last Congress." A landmark issue of Americ.…
