Southern Newspapers Online

Other than the Chronicling America site, does anyone know of good sites to search through Southern newspapers around the time of the Civil War? Free sites would be better as I'm a poor teacher.

Thank you. I should mention that I am sharing these sites with other teachers as well. So more the merrier! Thank you again.

Tons and tons here:

Google was, at one time, archiving old newspapers in much the same way they have done with books. They've dropped that initiative, but you can search the ones they did already through their news portal:

Here is a list of the included papers and their dates:

Finally, the Portal to Texas History has a lot of newspapers from that state:

Happy researching!
