July 12, 1868

NEW YORK TIMES, July 12, 1868 

* 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution ratified
* President Andrew Johnson


The front page has: "Proclamation" "The President Declares the Ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment by by North Carolina" signed in type: Andrew Johnson. This was one of the Reconstruction amendments which guaranteed citizenship to African-Americans, among other details (see hyperlink).
Eight pages, some old mends to inside pages, a few discrete archival mends, generally nice.
