Wisconsin Copperhead:
Marcus "Brick" Pomeroy
Wisconsin and the Civil War
Local examples make the larger historical picture come alive. In the case of the Copperhead movement, one need look no further than the example of Wisconsin Copperhead Marcus "Brick" Pomeroy. As editor of the LaCrosse Daily Democrat, Pomeroy's spit-fire columns and satirical poetry seem harsh even by today's standards.
