Temporal Coverage | 1862-1866 |
Description | The Nashville Weekly Union emerged during the Civil War, providing a pro-Union voice amidst Tennessee's turmoil. Established by an anonymous group from the offices of the Daily Nashville Patriot in April 1862, it later changed its name to the Nashville Daily Union. Government patronage supported its loyalist stance, with Governor Andrew Johnson endorsing its influence. Utilizing telegraphic advancements, it delivered frontline updates and asserted its position against politically neutral papers like the Nashville Dispatch. Despite changes in ownership and editorial leadership, including William Cameron & Co. and S.C. Mercer, the paper's dedication to the Union remained steadfast until its closure in June 1866, echoing Daniel Webster's words of unity. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1865 of this newspaper. |
