About this book

In the tumultuous backdrop of the American Civil War, "Ye Book of Copperheads" by Charles Godfrey Leland and H. P. Leland emerges as a sharp critique of the Copperhead movement—those Northern Democrats who opposed the war and sought peace with the Confederacy. This satirical collection blends humor and verse to dissect the fervent debates surrounding unalienable rights and civil liberties. With its clever wit, the book invites students, civic activists, and historians to explore the complexities of dissent during a pivotal moment in American history. Leland’s incisive commentary not only entertains but also provokes thought about the balance between liberty and national unity. Discover the voices that shaped a nation’s discourse in this unique document.
