Copperhead pamphlet from 1864 mocking President Abraham Lincoln
The Copperhead Democrats strongly opposed emancipation and pressured Lincoln to make peace with the Confederacy.
The title page of the pamphlet reads, "Abraham Africanus I. His secret life, as revealed under the mesmeric influence. Mysteries of the White House. J.F. Fleeks, Publisher. No. 26 Ann Street, NY." The page includes an dark-skinned portrait of Abraham Lincoln, wearing a crown.
