Newspapers

During the mid-19th century, newspapers were often very political in their outlook. While some called themselves "Independent," many others took up the cause of one political party or another, and their readers expected them to act as the Republican or Democratic news outlet. This could greatly affect the amount and type of war news reported as well as the tone of articles and letters published. The articles below describe the northwest Ohio newspapers indexed here.
