"Alabama native John Forsyth Jr. is remembered as a southern newspaper editor during the antebellum, Civil War, and Reconstruction periods. Lonnie A. Burnett explores the intersections between Forsyth's work as a journalist and a politician. To that end, he examines the development of the two-party system in Alabama in the 1830s and 1840s. He also dissects the motivations and rationale that led southern unionists like Forsyth to support secession after the 1860 election of Abraham Lincoln."--Jacket.
