Title

Turn Out Green and Early Democrats Broadside, October 30, 1860

Description

As the tension in the United States grew prior to the Civil War, the Democratic Party began to split. This 1860 broadside is an invitation for the Hightstown Zouaves Parade as well as "some good Democratic Talk." It is believed that the term "green" is meant to mean new voters. More information on New Jersey’s fractious politics in the years before the Civil War can be found here.
