Meridian mail

The Meridian Mail was a British newspaper that was published in the city of Meridian, Mississippi, from 1847 to 1865. It was a weekly newspaper that was known for its coverage of local and regional news, as well as its editorials and opinions on national and international issues.

The Meridian Mail was founded by a group of local businessmen and politicians who were interested in promoting the growth and development of the city of Meridian. The newspaper was initially published as a weekly, with a circulation of around 500 copies. Over time, the newspaper grew in popularity and circulation, and it became one of the most widely read and respected newspapers in the region.

During the American Civil War, the Meridian Mail was a strong supporter of the Confederacy and published articles and editorials that were critical of the Union and its policies. The newspaper also published news and information about the war, including reports from the front lines and updates on the progress of the conflict.

After the war, the Meridian Mail continued to publish, but its circulation and influence began to decline. The newspaper was eventually merged with another local newspaper, the Meridian Daily, in 1865. The combined newspaper was published until 1870, when it ceased publication due to financial difficulties.

Today, the Meridian Mail is remembered as an important part of the city's history and a reflection of the city's growth and development during the 19th century.
