On 11/14/2017, Diane Gallagher presented concerning the Civil War 'Copperheads':
The Yankees considered Copperheads snakes, poisonous snakes. These Copperheads are the two-legged kind. They were the "fifth column" that infested the southwest Ohio Valley and southern Indiana.
They were the Southern sympathizers that bedeviled Abe Lincoln and Secretary of War Stanton. These are very human and personal tales of the gallantry of John Hunt Morgan, the espionage and coolheadedness of the Moon sisters, the deceit and betrayal by Major George Rue, the trust of the Ursuline nuns, and the kindness and forgiveness shown by General Ambrose Burnside.
Come learn some hidden history of the Civil War. Not only was the country divided, but individual counties too. All of this action occurred North of the Mason Dixie Line. Why had you not heard of this before? The winners write the history.
