Picture courtesy of Abolitionist Persuasions
The National Era was a weekly newspaper/magazine published in Washington, D.C. from 1847-1860. While the National Era was an abolitionist newsmagazine, which dedicated a large portion of every issue to the evils of slavery, it also contained information on current events, short-essays, and editorials that pertained to a wide range of topics from education to philosophy. The National Era was socially significant because it was a component of the broader abolitionist movement. Additionally, the newsmagazine served to give uplifting portrayals of African-Americans and through disseminate national news (Sylvester).
