The Loyal Publication Society consisted of two groups, one based in New York and the other in New England. During the American Civil War, it published pamphlets and broadsides supporting the Union and blasting Copperheads, or Southern sympathizers.
In addition to distributing materials "of unquestionable loyalty," the societies were active in both state and national politics, allied with the Republican Party.
