Can you be a little more specific? Which were suspended or suppressed by government action as opposed to suppressed or attacked because people didn't like their editorial content. If you can provide a source I'd appreciate it as well.

I've given you names. I found them on the web and in hard copy print. Do your own homework.

Where is your list of papers suppressed by the Confederacy?

You have no idea, do you? Figures.

Well let's see. There was the Richmond Whig. There was the Greensboro Alabama Beacon. There was the Athena Union Banner. There was the Galveston Union and the Galveston Civilian and Gazette. There was the San Antonio Alamo Express. The Richmond Examiner. The Knoxville Whig. Brayton Harris wrote an entire book on the subject, "Blue & Gray in Black & White: Newspapers in the Civil War".

You have to remember that there were only about 80 newspapers in the entire confederacy prior to the start of the rebellion, and Union advances wound up shutting down newspapers in cities like Norfolk and Memphis and New Orleans as their staffs headed for the hills.
