A summary:Harper's Weekly was a significant publication during the American Civil War. Founded in 1857 by Fletcher Harper, it quickly became one of the most widely read journals in the United States. The magazine was known for its extensive coverage of the Civil War, including detailed reports and illustrations of events from the war. The publication featured contributions from some of the most renowned illustrators of the time, such as Winslow Homer and Thomas Nast. Nast, in particular, was famous for his political cartoons and is often credited with creating the modern image of Santa Claus and popularizing the elephant as the symbol of the Republican Party.Harper's Weekly took a moderate editorial stance on the issue of slavery before the war, which led to some criticism. However, its detailed reporting and illustrations made it an essential source of information for many Americans during the conflict.
