Very RARE 1866 Raleigh, North Carolina BROADSIDE from Southern Reconstruction Era

Raleigh, North Carolina: 1866. [NORTH CAROLINA]. [BROADSIDE]. Worth, Jonathan. Gov. Worth's Circular to the People of North Carolina. Raleigh, June 11, 1866. Broadside, 7-1/4" x 12". Printed in two columns. Tanned uniformly, old folds, several tape repairs not affecting text.

Governor Worth's rare broadside announces his candidacy for re-election and displays his credentials as a national rather than a sectional man. IN 1831 he offered "resolutions denouncing nullification", opposed disunion in 1860-1861 as a member of "a forlorn minority"; and publicly asserted that the North Carolina Convention of 1861 was designed, not to save the Union, but "to destroy it."

Worth ardently supports a speedy Reconstruction: "We are unwisely and unconstitutionally excluded from the National councils."
