At first, in an effort to maintain readership in the South, Harper’s took a moderate stance on slavery. In the presidential election of 1860, Harper’s supported the Democratic nominee Stephen Douglas, over Republican nominee Abraham Lincoln. After the Civil War began, the Weekly firmly supported Lincoln and the North. During the war, circulation reached 200,000.
