∙ 8y agoCopperheads were midwesterners that sympathized with the South and opposed abolition. They believed the war was not necessary and called for its end. Valandigham asked what the war had gained, and then said, "Let the dead at Fredericksburg and Vicksburg answer." Lincoln saw the Copperheads as a threat to support of the war effort. To silence them, he suspended the right of habeas corpus.
