Now in paperback, A Press Divided provides new insights regarding
the sharp political divisions that existed among the newspapers of
the Civil War era. These newspapers were divided between North and
South - and also divided within the North and South. These
divisions reflected and exacerbated the conflicts in political
thought that caused the Civil War and the political and ideological
battles within the Union and the Confederacy about how to pursue
the war.In the North, dissenting voices alarmed the Lincoln
administration to such a degree that draconian measures were taken
to suppress dissenting newspapers and editors, while in the South,
the Confederate government held to its fundamental belief in
freedom of speech and was more tolerant of political attacks in the
press. This volume consists of eighteen chapters on subjects
including newspaper coverage of the rise of Lincoln, press reports
on George Armstrong Custer, Confederate women war correspondents,
Civil War photojournalists, newspaper coverage of the Emancipation
Proclamation, and the suppression of the dissident press.This book
tells the story of a divided press before and during the Civil War,
discussing the roles played by newspapers in splitting the nation,
newspaper coverage of the war, and the responses by the Union and
Confederate administrations to press criticism.
