What specific "crap" are you questioning?

Your absolutely absurd claim that "most newspaper deliveries" in the 1860s were made via US Mail. That is simply bizarre on its face.

Do you guys even bother to think a little when you read the CrownRights claptrap or do you accept it as Gospel as long as it bashes Lincoln and the Yankees?

You ought to have sources instead of opinions. Here is one you might like:

"Postmaster General Montgomery Blair directed the Postmaster in New York to exclude from the mails the five newspapers named by the Grand Jury. This was significant because the newspapers of that day were almost entirely dependent upon the mails for their circulation. (from here:)
