Note: The Whig was a American newspaper published in the mid-nineteenth century and edited by William G. "Parson" Brownlow (1805Ð1877, 17th governor of TN, 1865-1869). The paper's primary purpose was the promotion and defense of Whig Party political figures and ideals. In the years leading up to the Civil War, the Whig became the mouthpiece for East Tennessee's anti-secessionist movement. The Whig was published under several names throughout its existence, namely the Tennessee Whig, the Jonesborough Whig, the Knoxville Whig, and other variations. The Whig was first published in 1839 and ended publication in 1991 as The Knoxville Chronicle.
