True American was an antislavery newspaper which was printed in 1845 in Fayette County, Kentucky by Cassius Marcellus Clay.[1] In 1846 a group of outraged citizens ran the newspaper out of Lexington, Kentucky with a court injunction.[2]

Cassius continued to publish his paper after moving his publishing company to Cincinnati, Ohio.[3]
