As technology and growing demand allowed newspapers to become regular publications, broadsides as a medium for news became scarce, except in the form of the "extra edition," a hybrid newspaper and broadside.

However, broadsides for a variety of other purposes continued.

Here, the legacy of political protest and action in broadsides is continued with an argument against Maine becoming a state independent of Massachusetts.
