The Copperheads was a secret pacifist organisation which opposed to the prosecution of the war, expressing tiredness towards the war and reluctance to subject the South by means of the force of arms. Their leader was the former Ohio's Democrat deputy,
Clement Vallandigham, who, after many hamming and hawing was eventually expelled from the United States.
