Description | The American Telegraph, established in 1851 in Washington, D.C., evolved through various publishers and political stances. Initially nonpartisan, it shifted to support the Democratic Party under editor General Duff Green. However, by early 1852, it distanced itself from politics, embracing a liberal and independent ethos. Later, it became a Whig newspaper, endorsing General Winfield Scott for President in 1852. Despite Scott's loss, the paper affirmed democratic principles. Ultimately, it ceased publication in November 1852, with Joseph B. Tate later founding the successful Daily Evening Star. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1851 of this newspaper. |
