Description | Brownlow's Weekly Whig, published in Knoxville in 1861 under William Gannaway Brownlow's leadership, served as a platform for his staunch anti-Confederacy stance and vigorous support for the Union cause. Despite facing government shutdowns and personal attacks, Brownlow remained resolute in his pro-Union activism. His uncompromising editorials condemned Confederate leaders and advocated for Lincoln's emancipation proclamation, reflecting a transformation from a southern Whig to a radical Republican. Brownlow's unwavering commitment to his beliefs earned him the moniker "The Fighting Parson," symbolizing his relentless pursuit of justice and truth in tumultuous times.
