The Copperheads were a powerful faction of the Democratic party in the North who opposed the American Civil War, wanting an immediate peace settlement with the Confederate States of America knowing that meant independence for the Confederacy and the continuation of slavery.
Copperhead snakes are some of the more commonly seen North American snakes. They're also the most likely to bite, although their venom is relatively mild, and their bites are rarely fatal for humans. These snakes get their name, fittingly, from their copper-red heads, according to the biology department at Pennsylvania State University.
