The Copperhead Democrats were a faction of the Democratic Party in the Northern United States during the Civil War, known for their opposition to the war and support for a peace settlement with the Confederacy. They were often seen as sympathetic to the Southern cause and criticized President Abraham Lincoln's policies. The term "Copperhead" was used derogatorily to suggest they were treasonous or undermining the war effort. Their influence waned after the war, especially as the Republican Party solidified its position in the post-war era.
