The Anti-Civil War Movement in the North: Copperheads in a Midwestern Community, 1861-1865

Copperheads, anti-war Democrats, protested against the policies of the
Lincoln administration, opposed emancipation and resisted the draft with
violence. Were the Copperheads expressing sentiments that mirrored
concerns of their fellow citizens? Did they actually aid the
Confederacy? Lecturer Nichole Etcheson, Professor of History at Ball State University, will be available after the talk to sign her A Generation at War: The Civil War Era in a Northern Community.
We mark the 150th anniversary of the Civil War with this lecture
series, made possible through the generous support of the Ruby W. and
LaVon P. Linn Foundation.
