The Loyal Publication Society was founded in 1863, a time when the Union Army had suffered many reverses in the War Between the States. The Society's intent was to increase public support for the Union by spreading inspirational news articles and editorials, which were distributed to newspapers for publication as well as directly to Union soldiers.
