About
A.P. Burr, A. G. Murray’s assistant editor at the American Union, left to establish his own paper, Independent South, in 1858. The publication aligned itself as a State’s Rights paper and reported the activities of pro-secessionists. In the July 21, 1859 issue of the paper, Senator Alfred Iverson’s famous two-hour secession speech was reported word for word. The Independent South continued to publish until 1861 when Burr left to join the Confederate army.
