Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln: Reactions in Foreign Countries; Excerpts From Newspapers and Other Sources, From the Files of the Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection
Throughout the Civil War the editors of Punch scolded both sides. As anti-slavery advocates they could not endorse the Southern slave owners. As upholders of free trade they could not endorse the North. Until the battle of Bull Run Punch preserved a fair appearance of neutrality. Then their attitude veered toward the South. This attitude was maintained by the numerous disasters to Federal arms, which seemed to point to an inevitable victory for the Confederacy.
