Copperhead
Explanation:
[STC0012060]. Copperheads, or Peace Democrats, were northerners who opposed the Union’s war with the South and instead advocated for a negotiated peace with the Confederacy. In 1861, a ‘New York Tribune’ story compared these Southern sympathizers to the deadly snake because of their imagined capacity to deal a subtle but devastating blow to the Union cause. Many of these Copperheads called the Midwest home, as it had deeper ties to the South than the Northeast.
