Description | The Southern Banner, published in Holly Springs, Mississippi in 1841, was part of a lineage of Whig-affiliated newspapers in the region. Edited by Thomas A. Falconer for a brief period, it reflected staunch states' rights advocacy. Falconer later founded the Holly Springs Gazette, emphasizing "Harrisonian" politics and continuing the tradition of political engagement. The paper featured editorials, legislative updates, and coverage of Whig events, alongside general interest content like sermons, poetry, and local announcements. Notable for its coverage of banking crises and sympathy for Texas, the Southern Banner provided insights into antebellum Mississippi life and politics.
