Civil War newspaper suppression in Oregon

A number of pro-Southern, Democratic newspapers in Oregon were suppressed by the federal government of the United States in the early 1860s.

Among them were the following weekly newspapers: the Albany Oregon Democrat, the Corvallis Union, the Jacksonville Southern Oregon Gazette. The Portland Advertiser, the only daily newspaper in the state at the time, was also suppressed.[1] Mail suppression was the primary means of suppressing the papers.[2]
