  • Comment: I'm considering approving this, but I'm on the fence about the anti-jewish part. I was able to add another source but it turns out it's by the same person, I'm just hoping I can find another source from a different author to help avoid undue coverage  A S U K I T E  14:48, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

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] His son 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]
