Louisville Courier
(KY) dated Aug 6, 1860. This newspaper contains a large display graphic and "stacked" headlines with coverage of the
Presidential election in NORTH CAROLINA in 1860.
Abraham Lincoln was, needless to say, NOT the choice of NORTH CAROLINA in the 1860 election.
In 1844 the Louisville Morning Courier was founded in Louisville by Walter Newman Haldeman. The Louisville Daily Journal and the Louisville Morning Courier were the leading newspapers in Louisville and were politically opposed throughout the Civil War; The Journal was against slavery while
the Courier was pro-Confederacy
.
The Courier was suppressed by the Union and had to move to Nashville, but returned to Louisville after the war.
This is a
Pro-Slavery
newspaper with a JOYOUS TONE and DISPLAY reveling in the fact that North Carolina has rejected Lincoln and Republican abolitionism.
The United States presidential election of 1860 served as the immediate impetus for the outbreak of the American Civil War. The United States had been divided during the 1850s on questions surrounding the expansion of slavery and the rights of slave owners. In 1860, these issues broke the Democratic Party into Northern and Southern factions, and a new Constitutional Union Party appeared. In the face of a divided opposition, the Republican Party, dominant in the North, secured a majority of the electoral votes, putting Abraham Lincoln in the White House with almost no support from the South. Before Lincoln's inauguration, seven Southern states declared their secession and formed the Confederacy.
