Description | Established in 1866 by George Paul Turner, The National Star served as Goodman, Mississippi's primary journal during the Reconstruction era. Led by editor J.L. McCullum, the Democratic paper provided a platform for local news and community interests. It garnered support from those who appreciated its bold and outspoken nature. Turner, a Confederate veteran and Mississippi Congressman, later relocated to Tennessee, while McCullum continued his editorial career in various Mississippi newspapers. The Star reflected the prevailing sentiment of opposition to Reconstruction, portraying Republican political control as a form of captivity. It also participated in the enforcement of discriminatory Black Code laws, illustrating the era's fraught racial dynamics. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1866 of this newspaper. |
