Description | The Copiah County News, established in Hazlehurst, Mississippi, in 1860 by John W. Ward and A. L. Allison, provided a brief but fervent voice for the Confederacy during the Civil War. With its motto "The South is our Country," the paper staunchly supported the Confederate cause. Although its lifespan was short-lived, ending abruptly during the war, it left a notable imprint by featuring national and county news, editorials, obituaries, legal notices, and advertisements for local businesses and industries. Noteworthy were its reprinted descriptions of Civil War battles, muster rolls for local military companies like the Crystal Springs Southern Rights Rifles, and appeals for citizen support through supplies for soldiers, showcasing a strong sense of community and patriotism. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1861 of this newspaper. |
