HARPER'S WEEKLY NEWSPAPER COMPLETE WITH LARGE CENTER FOLD. PAPER IS SHOWING AGE BUT IS INTACT. AS YOU WILL READ HARPER'S TERMED THE NAME "UNCLE TOM" BUT THE REAL NAME WAS "UNCLE SAM" FOR THE SLAVE. THE PAPER IS BRITTLE FROM AGE SO THE EDGES ARE ROUGH.

"Contraband" was the term used in the North during the Civil War to label the slaves who sought freedom and security within the lines of Union troops in the South. This cover article from the 21 December 1861Harper's Weeklywas an early attempt to describe the attitude and aptitudes of these self-emancipated slaves. Interestingly, the article mentions only one black male by name -- an "Uncle Sam." But at the center of the set of illustrationsHarper'sprinted on the issue's cover is a man labeled "Uncle Tom" (see top center image at left). Since the one named female black is an "Aunt Chloe," this change might be a simple error -- or perhapsHarper'ssought to give its readers a way to relate to "the contraband" by switching "Sam" to the name (and the figure) they were already very familiar with as "Uncle Tom."GENERAL INFORMATION
