Tuskegee Republican Explained

The Tuskegee Republican was a newspaper published in Tuskegee, Alabama. It was a Whig affiliated newspaper originally by Daniel Sayre and J. L. Caldwell from 1845 to 1859.[1] [2] Daniel Sayre Jr. took over the paper that year but was killed early in the American Civil War. It competed with The Democrat for readership in Tuskegee.[3]

In 1854 it denounced Frederick Douglass addressing students at a university in Ohio.[4] It had a reputation for being anti-Jewish.[5] [6]
