What were northerners who were against slavery called?
The Copperheads, or as they were sometimes called, the "Peace Democrats" were against the US Civil War. Their main base of support lay in the lower Midwest. They were also strong in heavily Democratic cities, such as New York City. Their persistent cries for the end of hostilities were increased in May of 1864 as Union forces were unable to defeat the Confederates. A Union fiasco which was an attempt to tunnel into Petersburg caught the publics attention in the North. The tunnel's exit was discovered by the Confederates and they shot the Union soldiers as they left the tunnel. Union forces behind them were unaware of the totality of the situation and were surprised. The Union lost 4,000 troops in this effort in July, 1864.The Northern peace movement of these Copperheads intensified. The huge losses of Union troops in the Spring of 1864, called for another draft. The Republican Party leader in New York City spoke for peace. To the surprise of many, the thoroughly Lincoln-Republican supportive newspaper the Tribune in New York City also called for peace.

Why did president Lincoln believe the copperheads were a threat to the union war effort?
The Copperheads were a group of Northern Democrats who opposed the American Civil War, wanting an immediate peace settlement with the Confederates. They were also called Peace Democrats, because they were in favor of a compromise peace. The Confederates believed that if they could prolong the war, and cause enough war-weariness in the North, Lincoln could lose the 1864 election. If so, the South might gain its independence. Unfortunately for the Copperheads, the fall of Atlanta in September 1864 meant that the Radical Republicans prevailed, and Lincoln was re-elected. By the time of his assassination on April 15, 1865, the war was essentially over.
