Temporal Coverage | 1814-1822 |
Description | Established by James Wilson in 1822, the American Watchman in Wilmington, Delaware, morphed into the American Watchman and Delaware Advertiser, incorporating notices of property transactions, slave sales, and local meetings. Its coverage extended to foreign affairs, documenting the ongoing slave trade and colonization efforts in Sierra Leone. National news, such as legislative activities and criminal cases, found a place in its pages. Renamed the Delaware Patriot and American Watchman in 1828 under J. F. Clement's leadership, it embraced Democratic Republican principles, advocating for domestic industries and endorsing Andrew Jackson's presidency. The publication left its mark before merging with the Delaware Gazette in 1828. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1822 of this newspaper. |
