About This Quote

The United States in the mid-19th century was noted for a partisan, rather than a consensus press, but this partisanship was able to turn out voters consistently. The partisan press in the U.S. was one of the most powerful forces to be found in the country. The distribution of newspapers at this time was entirely under the control of the Republican Party.
