I saw that this topic says that newspapers were usually in support of political parties. Were there any other kinds of propaganda being used? Like maybe recruitment posters or speakers who would go to town to rally support?
Confederate propaganda would often utilize the fear factor. A conspicuous insinuation about the incapability of black men being adequate soldiers is seen in Tenniel's “The Black Conscription”. Another example, though from before the Civil War period is Edward Williams Clay's “Amalgamation Waltz”. This exploitation of the public's fears(e.g On miscegenation, would have been reiterated during the Civil War.These often appealed to the sentiments of the people and also invalidated the Union's own counter-propaganda(e.g This from the The Anti-Slavery Almanac)
