AI notes: The Daily Dispatch, published in Richmond, Virginia, in 1862, was a leading Confederate daily newspaper that provided contemporary coverage of the Civil War from the capital of the Confederacy. Established in 1850, the paper was staunchly pro-Southern and reported on battles, political developments, and social conditions with a distinctly Confederate perspective. In 1862, it covered major events such as the Peninsula Campaign, the Seven Days Battles, and the growing strains on the Southern home front, combining battlefield reports, government announcements, and editorials designed to rally public morale. Its pages also included advertisements, local news, and cultural notices, reflecting daily life in Richmond amid wartime pressures. The Daily Dispatch’s issues from this period are preserved in the Library of Congress Chronicling America collection, providing historians and researchers with direct access to primary accounts of Confederate politics, military strategy, and public sentiment during a critical year of the Civil War.
