Clement Valliandigham
Clement Valliandigham was a anti-war democrat from Ohio. He was the leader of the copperheads, an anti-war group. Apart from the copperheads, he also served two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. His main philosophy was the north was not fighting the war to unite America, rather to free the slaves. He was arrested in 1863 for burning the offices of the Dayton Journal as a protest to the war.
