The Southern Aegis was a pro-Southern newspaper established in 1856 by George Yellott and John Cox and published from July 11, 1857, to February 1, 1862, in Bel Air, Maryland, U.S. The name "Aegis" originally derived from Greek mythology and is a reference to Zeus' shield, meant to "evoke protection for the interests of Harford residents" as well as the paper's Southern sympathies.
The Southern Aegis, and Harford County Intelligencer was a conservative Unionist newspaper which was published from March 22, 1862, to March 11, 1864, in Bel Air, Maryland by a prominent local lawyer, A.W. Bateman. After purchasing the paper as a pro-Confederate publication titled The Southern Aegis from John Cox in 1862, Bateman slightly altered the name of the paper as well as its political stance. In 1864, the title was again changed to the simplified The Aegis & Intelligencer, and Frederick W. Baker became the new publisher and editor. Baker sold The Aegis & Intelligencer to John D. Worthington, Sr. in 1904, but kept its name until 1923, when it was changed to The Aegis.
The Aegis & Intelligencer was a conservative Unionist newspaper published from March 18, 1864 to January 26, 1923 in Bel Air, Maryland. The paper was originally named "Aegis" in reference to Zeus' shield in Greek mythology, and was meant to "evoke protection for the interests of Harford residents" as well as reflect the founding paper's Southern sympathies. Its initial publisher, Frederick W. Baker, became notorious for his controversial editorial positions such as violent opposition to African American advancement under Reconstruction. During this period, The Aegis & Intelligencer "could be counted upon to be anti-black and conservatively Democratic at all times." However, the paper also recorded the increasing economic growth of Bel Air and published stories documenting the construction of the Maryland Central Railroad in 1883 and the arrival of the American Union Telegraph Company in 1880.
