The "Copperheads" were a faction of Northern Democrats during the American Civil War who opposed the war and advocated for an immediate peace settlement with the Confederacy. The term "Copperhead" was used to describe their perceived treachery, likening them to the venomous snake. Their influence was particularly strong in the Midwest, where economic concerns and anti-war sentiments were prevalent, leading to tensions with pro-war factions in the North. The Copperheads' activities and rhetoric reflected broader divisions in American society regarding the war and its implications for the nation’s future.
