The Charleston Mercury was the most famous secessionist newspaper in the South and this isue contains news and ads from just 1 year prior to the start of the Civil War.

The Charleston Mercury was a newspaper in Charleston, South Carolina founded by Henry L. Pinckney in 1819. He was its sole editor for fifteen years. It ceased publication with the Union Army occupation of Charleston. After the American Civil War, publication resumed in November 1866 before the paper closed permanently two years later in 1868.

During the American Civil War, the paper was \"strongly secessionist\", calling upon South Carolinian men to take up arms and wage war against the United States in order to preserve slavery. Its owner, Robert Barnwell Rhett, had two plantations and 190 slaves. The paper was critical of Davis and Confederate generals, in contrast with its pro-Davis competitor the Charleston Courier.
