Description | The Vermont Freeman, active from 1842 to 1843, was a pivotal voice for the antislavery Liberty Party in Vermont. Founded by Alanson St. Clair and later managed by Joseph E. Hood with editorial support from Chester C. Briggs, it primarily featured articles from other antislavery papers, fostering political discourse. Joseph Poland's Green Mountain Freeman succeeded it, becoming the Liberty Party's official organ in 1844. Poland's innovative subscription strategies expanded its reach, making it Vermont's most widely circulated newspaper by 1847. The Freeman endured transitions, championing antislavery causes under various editors until its merger with the Vermont Watchman in 1884. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1842 of this newspaper. |
