Editor of a Southern-leaning newspaper tarred and feathered in Haverhill, Massachusetts

The editorials of Ambrose L. Kimball in the Essex Democrat had been causing consternation in Haverhill, Massachusetts for their perceived Southern leanings.  Around nine p.m., a mob gathered, took Kimball from his house at gunpoint, stripped him, then tarred and feathered him. He was paraded in the town on a rail, forced to cheer the national flag, and obliged to kneel and swear a loyalty oath.  He was then released.  (By John Osborne)
