Description
Weber reveals how the Copperheads came perilously close to defeating Lincoln and ending the war in the South’s favor. Passionate defenders of civil liberties and states’ rights–and often virulent racists–the Copperheads deplored Lincoln’s suspension of habeas corpus, his liberal interpretation of the Constitution, and, most vehemently, his moves toward emancipation. Finally, Weber illuminates the role of Union soldiers, who, furious at Copperhead attacks on the war effort, moved firmly behind Lincoln. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Subject
