In the Texas Republican, Loughery defended slavery and plantation agriculture and supported the secession of Texas and later the Confederacy.[ citation needed ] The election of local citizens and the fiery pro-confederate stance of the Texas Republican made it one of the most-read papers in Texas and made Marshall a major political center in Antebellum Texas.[ citation needed ]
