LOUISVILLE KENTUCKY's COURIER WAS TAKEN OVER SEPTEMBER 18TH 1861 During the early months of the War for Southern Independence, it wasn't uncommon for drastic emeasures to be taken by federal of- ficials in an attempt to quell the independence movements. It is a time of heightened tensions throughout the border states. On the 18th of September in 1861, the federal postal service has seen the necessity of preventing the Louisville Kentucky Courier from using the postal services. Their newspaper has indicated an alleged hostility to the northern cause. With hours of heightened anxieties several employees will be ar- rested by union officials when the headquarters of their Courier is seized. Can anyone tell our list how long this seizure lasted? Surely it didn't last as the duration of the War for Southern Independenceor did it? SEND ANY REPLY TO OUR LIST: [email protected] THANKS for all your participation! glenn <[email protected]
