Synopsis
Excerpt from Origin of Butternut and Copperhead
I have noted the letter by W. P. Reeves in the N ation of February 28 1918, questioning the statement in perry-price American History, Second Book, page 198, that many Copperheads of Civil War times wore as a badge the Liberty head cut out of an old-fashioned cent.
The statement is confirmed by Bassett, Short History of the United States, p. 582; Hart, Essentials in American History, p. 472; Hosmer, Outcome of the Civil War, p. 4; Rhodes, History of the United States, IV, p. 247.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the origins of the terms "Butternut" and "Copperhead," tracing their emergence and evolution during the American Civil War. The author examines the usage of these terms as both political slurs and rallying cries, shedding light on the deep divisions of the time. By exploring the historical context and symbolic meanings associated with these epithets, the book provides insights into the complex social and political dynamics of the Civil War era. The author argues that these terms reveal not only the growing animosity between the Union and Confederacy but also the ways in which language can shape and reflect the tumultuous events of history. In examining the origins of these terms, the book contributes to our understanding of the complexities of American political discourse and the enduring impact of the Civil War on the nation's identity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333570682_0
