Copperheads were a group of Northern Democrats during the American Civil War who opposed the war and wanted an immediate peace settlement with the Confederacy. They were particularly active in the Midwest, especially in states like Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. The term "Copperhead" was used derogatorily by their opponents, likening them to the venomous snake, suggesting they were treacherous to the Union cause. Their influence declined as the war progressed, especially after significant Union victories.
