The Free South
The Free South was an antislavery newspaper which was printed in Kentucky by William Shreve Bailey from 1858 to 1866. The newspaper began in Newport, Kentucky. It was Kentucky's only abolitionist newspaper in the 1850s.[1] On October 28, 1859, a pro-slavery mob threw his presses and type into the street.[2] He then resettled in Cincinnati, Ohio.[1]
