The single sheet newspaper format was used by many Southern newspapers due to the scarcity of paper in the South during the Civil War. This lack of paper was a result of the South being cut off from their normal paper supplies, previously obtained from the Northern paper mills.
Most Confederate Civil War newspapers lack bold single column headlines as were common in Northern newspapers; however, the defiant prose found in Southern newspapers more than makes up for the lack of headlines! Confederate Civil War newspapers are much scarcer, and much more in demand with collectors than Northern newspapers.
