Romanticizing the villains of the Civil War
A short history of The Copperheads
An interesting article on The Copperheads and a movie about them. A movie that romanticizes them and treats them as noble dissenters. It’s a treatment worthy of David Barton.
The Copperheads were similar to today’s Tea Party, in my opinion. Loudly proclaiming their patriotism while doing all they could to undermine the nation.
