Miscegenation: The Theory of the Blending of the Races, Applied to the American White Man and Negro

Miscegenation: The Theory of the Blending of the Races, Applied to the American White Man and Negro is a December 1863 hoax pamphlet created by New York World staff as part of an anti-Lincoln Copperhead campaign leading up to the 1864 presidential election. The 72-page piece coined the term miscegenation (from the Latin miscere "to mix" + genus "kind") and was put together by World managing editor David Goodman Croly and reporter George Wakeman.
