The book "Copperheads (politics)" by Alphascript Publishing offers a comprehensive analysis of the Copperheads, an influential group of Democrats in the Northern United States during the American Civil War. This group was known for its opposition to the war and called for an immediate peace settlement with the Confederates. The term "Copperhead" was coined by Republicans to disparage the anti-war Democrats, while the Peace Democrats embraced the name and interpreted it as a symbol of freedom. The book highlights the historical contexts that led to this movement and introduces significant figures such as Clement L. Vallandigham, who are representative of the Copperheads. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the political currents and resistance during the Civil War.
