<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KLJ, post: 193900, member: 1910&quot;]During the Civil War, the anti-war Democrats in the North, particularly in the Old Northwest, went by the name of &quot;Copperheads.&quot;&nbsp; Their period of strength was from late 1862-early 1864, and the most well known of them&nbsp; was Clement Vallandingham.&nbsp; Their name was a double entedre.&nbsp; There is, of course, a poisonous snake called a copperhead.&nbsp; But the people of this particular political persuasion wore as lapel pins the obverse head of the old large cents - hence &quot;copper heads.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
