The Baltimore News
The ''Baltimore News-American'' was a broadsheet newspaper published in downtown Baltimore, Maryland until May 27, 1986. It had a continuous lineage (in various forms) of more than 200 years. For much of the mid-20th century, it had the largest circulation in the city. History The entity known as the ''News American'' was formed by a final merger of two papers, the ''Baltimore News-Post'' and ''The Baltimore Sunday American'', in 1964, after a 191-year history and weaning process. Those newspapers each had a long history before the merger, in particular the ''Baltimore American'' which could trace its lineage unbroken to at least 1796, and, traditionally, it claimed even earlier antecedents to 1773. Other precursor newspapers ''The News'' and the ''Baltimore Post'' were founded in 1873 and 1922, respectively, and broke new ground in graphics, technology, journalistic style, and quality of writing and reporting. For most of the last two-thirds of the 19th century, the buildings ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Founded in 1828, it was predominantly built by Martin Van Buren, who assembled a wide cadre of politicians in every state behind war hero Andrew Jackson, making it the world's oldest active political party.M. Philip Lucas, "Martin Van Buren as Party Leader and at Andrew Jackson's Right Hand." in ''A Companion to the Antebellum Presidents 1837–1861'' (2014): 107–129."The Democratic Party, founded in 1828, is the world's oldest political party" states Its main political rival has been the Republican Party since the 1850s.

The historical predecessor of the Democratic Party is considered to be th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
