		American politics during the war form a wildly confused story, so intricate that it cannot be made clear in a brief statement.

		In the spring of 1863 the issue of conscription drew the line fairly sharply between the two political coalitions, though each continued to fluctuate, more or less, tothe end of the war.

		The legislators arranged a scheme of political apportionment that provided the state's less-populous southern counties with representation equal to those in the rapidly growing north.

	The Copperheads - April 23, 2007 - The New York Sun
		The epithet, taken from the poisonous snake, was used to denote those Democrats who sided with, or sought accomodation with, the South during the Civil War.
		The person who might be called the ideological leader of the Copperheads was a two-term congressman from Ohio, Clement Vallandigham.

A challenge to the constitutionality of all this was rejected by the Supreme Court, which, in ex parte Vallandigham, concluded it couldn't tell a military commission what to do.
