SEE PHOTO(s) - COMPLETE ORIGINALweekly antislavery NEWSPAPER,TheCommonwealth(Boston, MA) datedin 1865 or 1866.This original newspaper contains much news and editorials on slavery and antislavery topics during Reconstruction in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War.

The Commonwealth (1862-96) was a weekly antislavery newspaper published in Boston beginning in September 1862, a few weeks before the announcement of the Emancipation Proclamation. The Commonwealth demanded the immediate emancipation of the enslaved, and the Emancipation Proclamation did not go far enough for its editors, who pushed for more immediate and extensive reform of American systems of power. The Commonwealth committed to securing the rights of people of color, rights that the paper’s first editor Moncure Conway argued in an early editorial had always belonged to everyone before proslavery legions co-opted the Constitution.
