Interest In Slave Issue Preceded Civil Conflict
In 1856 local actions show tensions over slavery in Southeast Ohio. The Athens Messenger and Hocking Valley Gazette recount a habeas corpus case freeing a child claimed as chattel, and cite sweeping anti slave laws and threats in Kansas. A 1860 headline notes growing Free State and Slave State rhetoric, a Buchanan era polemic, and a Republican mass meeting in Athens. Also described is Hocking Valley's Mail Stage Line from Columbus to Pomeroy with multi town connections and a staging of transport links.
