Journals and Abolitionists Shape Clermont County History
Clermont County amid antebellum controversy shaped by James G. Birney and Samuel Medary. The Philanthropist edited by Birney promoted abolition from Mount Pleasant to Cincinnati, facing mob destruction in 1836. Medary, editor of The Ohio Sun and later The Crisis, urged reconciliation and faced riots over his stance on popular sovereignty.
