Summary "Ye Book of Copperheads" by Charles Godfrey Leland and H. P. Leland is a satirical work composed during the mid-19th century, specifically during the American Civil War era. This book can be classified as a collection of political satire and verse, with its primary focus on the Copperhead movement—those Northern Democrats who opposed the war and sought peace with the Confederacy. Through wit and humor, the authors address themes of patriotism, dissent, and the socio-political atmosphere of the time. In "Ye Book of Copperheads," the authors employ a series of poetic verses and illustrations to capture the essence of the Copperheads, often portraying them as treacherous or cowardly figures who threaten the Union's efforts during the Civil War. The verses mix humor with sharp criticism, delineating the characters involved in the movement, including politicians and everyday citizens who sympathized with the Confederacy. The work serves not only as a commentary on the political landscape of the time but also as a reflection of the broader sentiments surrounding loyalty and betrayal during a nation divided by war.
