AI notes: The Daily Richmond Examiner was a major Confederate newspaper published in Richmond, Virginia, from 1848 to 1867. Known for its sharp editorial stance, especially during the Civil War, it often criticized Confederate President Jefferson Davis while supporting generals like Joseph Johnston. The paper provided detailed war coverage, reports from Northern papers, political commentary, and advertisements, including slave notices. Edited by John Moncure Daniel, it was influential and controversial. After the fall of Richmond in 1865, it continued briefly under Union occupation before merging with the Richmond Enquirer in 1867. It remains a valuable source for Civil War historians.
