Andreasen, Bryon C. "'As Good A Right to Pray': Copperhead Christians on the Northern Civil War Home Front," Department of History, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, May 1998.
This dissertation examines a significant Democratic insurgency within the northern Protestant Churches of the Civil War west (Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio). Pious Democrats attempted to articulate an alternative religious interpretation of the war that would sustain both their standing as Christians and their political opposition to the Republican majority. To challenge the seemingly monolithic support of the Northern churches for the Republican war agenda, proscribed preachers tried to channel religious dissent into a network of “new churches.” Their story forces historians to reassess the nature and scope of Democratic opposition to the Republican war effort, and to acknowledge an important religious dimension to the Copperhead movement. ``1``
