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.
Copperheads are viviparous, meaning that females give live birth rather than laying eggs. Three to ten snakes are born during late summer or early fall. Young snakes measure from 8-10 inches (20-26 cm). The gestation period is approximately three months.
