Description | Brownlow's Knoxville Whig, established by Parson William Gannaway Brownlow in 1868, reflected his fiery convictions and unyielding stance on politics and religion. Originally founded as the Tennessee Whig in 1839, it moved to Knoxville in 1849. Brownlow's impassioned editorials vehemently opposed secession and championed abolition, earning him the moniker "The Fighting Parson." Despite facing numerous physical threats, Brownlow's uncompromising journalism persisted, shaping Tennessee's political landscape. After his tenure as governor, the paper underwent several name changes before his death in 1877. Brownlow's legacy endures through his fearless journalism and unwavering commitment to his beliefs.
