AI notes: The Wisconsin Greenback was a weekly political newspaper published from 1876 to 1879, initially in Sparta, Wisconsin, and later also in Milwaukee. Edited by J. Lamborn and tied to the national Greenback movement, it promoted monetary reform and populist economic ideas. The shift to include Milwaukee broadened its reach from rural to urban audiences, reflecting the movement's efforts to expand influence across Wisconsin.
