Abstract
The Party of Right's weekly, Hervatska, which was published in Zagreb from January to October 1871, devoted much attention to the many problems effecting the population of the Military Frontier. Widespread disaffection in the Military Frontier was understandable due to the critical economic, cultural, educational, and health conditions. Seeing these problems as closely connected to the constitutional and legal status of the Military Frontier, the writers of Hervatska demanded the dismantling of its separate (military) administration and its reintegration into a territorially whole and independent Croatian state, wherein the problems of the Military Frontier could be solved by the people themselves through freely-elected representatives in the Croatian Sabor (Parliament). Besides these publically expressed concepts, one can discern between the lines of the articles written in Hervatska during 1871 that some adherents of the Party of Right held other ideas as to how to solve the problems of the Military Frontier, and indeed, the Croatian question generally; these individuals hoped that the amassed disaffections of the Frontier's inhabitants would be resolved by force.
