'When Rogues Attack'

Title

'When Rogues Attack'

Subject

Black race

Description

Though this event did not take place in Washington Territory, Washington Democrat editor, Urban E. Hicks, placed the article in the column directly next to the news that Lincoln had been killed.

“That the whole idea of “freedmen” was a hideous joke – the President’s Emancipation Proclamation a sham”.

Abstract

This is a reprint of an unknown newspaper’s accounting of a Boston Anti-Slavery Society meeting which describes a heated discussion over the issue of “freedmen.” The article focuses on points made that freedmen are worse off now than before the war due to abuse and treachery from Northern interests.
