Why Don't You Marry It Then

[RMN, March 31, 1865.]

This jab at Susan B. Anthony is a weird little twist in the Rocky's irrepressible racism. If she likes negroes so much, maybe she should marry one. Wouldn't that be totally wacky? Racist Mountain News already went off on "miscegenation" in another issue or two.

Another reminder that these Colorado Unionists, represented by Byers, are also racists, overwhelmingly, who would prefer their Union to keep the slavery if possible.
