Description | The Daily Mississippi Clarion, published in Jackson, Miss., in 1866, was a prominent Democratic newspaper during a tumultuous period in American history. It emerged from the Civil War era, offering detailed coverage of Southern secession and Confederate developments. Founded by James J. Shannon and Jones S. Hamilton, it later merged with the Daily Mississippi Standard to become the Daily Clarion and Standard. Led by fiery editor Ethelbert Barksdale, it staunchly opposed Reconstruction and championed Democratic causes. Despite challenges like arson, it remained influential, advocating for the removal of Reconstruction Governor Adelbert Ames. The paper's legacy endured through mergers, leading to the formation of the Clarion-Ledger, a Pulitzer Prize-winning publication that continues to serve Mississippi today. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1866 of this newspaper. |
