The American Civil War of 1861–1865 received a wide response in the Armenian periodical press of the time, including the “Masyats Aghavni” magazine.This periodical, which was representing the Armenian national-conservative current, was published in 1860–1865 in Theodosia edited by Archimandrite Gabriel Aivazovsky. “Masyats Aghavni” is one of the unique Armenian periodicals that predicted the inevitability of the conflict between the northern and southern states before the start of the US Civil War. The magazine attributes this to the election of Abraham Lincoln, the representative of the Republican Party representing the interests of the northern states, which is considered one of the remarkable events of the time.
