Description | The Weekly Conservative, published in Aberdeen, Mississippi, from 1854 to 1860, succeeded the Weekly Independent and continued its Whig tradition. Founded by Andrew Marschalk Jr., it upheld the motto "Honesty is the best Policy" and staunchly opposed Democratic views on national and state affairs. With a partisan tone, it supported the Whig Party and later the American Party as the Whig Party declined. The paper covered political news, including biographies of politicians and local Whig activities, alongside non-political local news, legal notices, and advertisements. It served as a platform for local planters and featured general interest content, reflecting the community's interests and concerns. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1855 of this newspaper. |
