Description | The Daily Mississippi Clarion and Standard, based in Jackson, Miss., during 1866, was a significant Democratic newspaper during the post-Civil War Reconstruction era. Founded by James J. Shannon and Jones S. Hamilton, it emerged from the consolidation of the Daily Mississippi Standard and the Clarion. Led by fiery editor Ethelbert Barksdale, it vehemently opposed Reconstruction efforts and fiercely criticized Republicans. Despite facing challenges like arson, it remained influential, advocating for the removal of Reconstruction Governor Adelbert Ames. The paper's legacy continued through mergers, eventually leading to the establishment of the Clarion-Ledger, a Pulitzer Prize-winning publication that still serves Mississippi today. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1866 of this newspaper. |
