What prolonged the American Civil War?
There were two major factors: 1. Union military defeats in battle and 2. Growing setiment against the war, being lead by Senate minorities. The Democrat party ran against Lincoln in 1864 as the 'peace' party - which would find any way to end the war, including recognizing the Confederacy. Some Democrat members even openly challenged that the war was 'constitutional'. Throughout much of 1864 the Democrats lead in the polls and had a majority of the Union population believing that the Union would lose the war. Timely victories by General Grant in Virgina and General Sherman in Georgia helped the nation's attitude and with it helped Lincoln gain a second term as president.

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.
