Description | The Nashville Union and American, formed in May 1853 by merging the Nashville American and the Nashville Union, was a key Democratic Party paper in Tennessee. It actively opposed Senator Hugh L. White's presidential aspirations in 1836 and staunchly supported Democratic principles. Ownership and name changes were frequent, reflecting the volatile political landscape of the era. The newspaper ceased publication temporarily during the Civil War due to various factors, including shortages and the Confederate occupation. Resuming post-war as the Daily Union and American, it underwent further transformations, merging with other papers and evolving into the Nashville Tennessean, which remains a prominent newspaper in Nashville today. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1853 of this newspaper. |
