Description | The Southern Motive, published in Greensboro, Choctaw, Mississippi during the Civil War era, provided a unique perspective on the conflict. Owned by John N. Bowen, it operated from approximately 1862 to 1864, making it one of the few newspapers in the region to exist solely during this tumultuous period. The publication primarily focused on war-related news but also included general interest stories, foreign news, poetry, obituaries, advertisements, and legal notices. It documented the hardships faced by Choctaw County residents during the war, including scarcity of basic necessities like corn and meat, as well as the impact of conscription on the local population.
