Vote for Lincoln and liberty, against McClellan and slavery : campaign broadside, 1864.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122387518

An Abraham Lincoln campaign document urging readers to "vote for Lincoln and Liberty, Against McClellan and Slavery." Resembling a broadside with a map "Showing what the Rebels had when they began their wicked rebellion and what they now hold, " it poses the question, "Is the rebellion gaining or losing ground." However, unlike a broadside, the reverse is five columns of fine newsprint headlined "Facts For Men Who Do Their Own Thinking." Two columns are headed "The Two Platforms, One Positive for Freedom and Union, The Other Secession and Slavery." Written in firebrand style, the paper provides insight into this critical, emotionally-charged election.

1 broadside, printed on both sides.
