There were a number of peace groups in the North during the US Civil War. Many groups were part of the Copper Head Movement. Most of these people were also War Democrats. Many peace groups were sincere about some type of peace agreement due to the huge number of casualties that the Northern troops were accumulating. Others were Democrats, like those who controlled New York City who saw a "peace" movement as a way to undermine what they termed Radical Republican Abolitionists. Also, in January of 1863, after the Emancipation Proclamation had gone into effect, the Governor of Indiana informed Lincoln that his legislature was almost ready to grant official recognition to the Confederacy. He warned Lincoln that even in his home state of Illinois, peace groups were enlarging. To add to President Lincoln's concerns was the Indiana proposal to sever all relations with New England states that were known to be heavily favoring complete and total abolition of slavery no matter what might happen if that became real.
