Description | The State Journal & Flag of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, emerged in November 1843 from the amalgamation of the Flag of the Union and the State Journal. Helmed by editor John McCormick, it provided a platform for chronicling the town's final years as state capital. Although Tuscaloosa housed the state university and held a central location, it wasn't the focal point of Alabama's development. The newspaper, aligned with the Democratic Party and staunchly anti-Whig, covered significant events such as the Mexican-American War, emphasizing territorial expansion and supporting slavery. It also documented local matters, including advertisements reflecting the region's reliance on slavery and economic activities. With Alabama's capital relocating to Montgomery in January 1847, the paper merged with the Montgomery Advertiser to form the Tri-Weekly Flag and Advertiser. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1846 of this newspaper. |
