Founders Of New York Times Were Slaveowners, Even Traded In Minors

"Founders of NYT fought for Secession from the American Union"

"Previously, the family that owned the New York Times was linked to the Civil War’s Confederacy, but the evidence now suggests that they were slaveholders."

"Bertha Levy Ochs, the mother of Times patriarch Adolph S. Ochs, assisted and supported the South and slavery. She was accused of smuggling medicine to Confederates in a baby carriage, even her brother Oscar joined the rebel army."

"At least three members of Bertha family fought for secession from the American Union. According to family history, Oscar Levy fought alongside two Mississippi cousins."
