Abstract:
North Carolinian Charles Force Deems spent the year immediately after the Civil War in New York, publishing a weekly newspaper which was intended to close the rift between the North and the South. Deems moved north after hostilities ended and began publishing 'The Watchman,' which featured stories and information on contemporary politics, literature, religion, agriculture, and business. The paper was slanted towards a southern view, while advertising and subscriptions reflected that intent. Due to financial problems caused by lack of support and bad timing, the paper folded on January 5th, 1867.
