Best Answer

There were many Civil War dissenters in the North and the South.

In the North, peace Democrats called Copperheads sympathized with the South. Riots ensued in New York after Lincoln had to initiate a second draft to replace those who lost their lives in the war. There was also opposition elsewhere in the North.

In the South, considerable opposition existed, most notably in border states, Texas and the Appalachian region.
