Baltimore & the Fifteenth Amendment, May 19, 1870
An Interactive Historical Investigation by David Troy © 1996
THE BALTIMORE
AMERICAN leaned more towards
a Republican viewpoint than the Sun. The American's article is
almost twice as long as the article appearing in the
Sun, and it is also more sympathetic in its
rhetoric and descriptions. Notice also that C.C. Fulton is the
publisher of
The American and that he is the first "distinguished guest" mentioned in the American article. He is also
a vice president of the meeting, and
there is a club which bears his name. The
parade would have passed in front of the American offices at 128
Baltimore Street.
| Compare the
reporting of
Frederick Douglass' speech in the Sun and the American.
