What was the name of a Democratic Party wing that opposed the U.S. Civil War and favored a quick peace deal with the Confederates?
Answer Copperheads
Republicans began referring to the anti-war Democrats as "Copperheads," after the poisonous snake Agkistrodon contortrix. However, these Democrats welcomed their new name and reinterpreted the copper "head" as a representation of liberty. Two prominent Copperheads were Clement L. Vallandigham and Alexander Long.
