Copperhead era politics taints Tilden debate
A long critical piece defends Samuel J. Tilden as a cautious war Democrat while attacking Copperhead influences. It defends his New York committee role against 1864 Democratic platform charges, contrasts his stance with Vallandigham and other peace faction figures, and argues patriotic service during the Civil War. It also cites a 1864 platform resolution and notes contemporary editorials from Cincinnati and Trenton attacking Tilden.
