May 1863 diary fragment on Copperhead sentiment and Union loyalties
A raw diary excerpt details political tensions in May and June during the Civil War era. It mentions Union supporters, Vallandigham, slavery questions, tariff repeal, and antiwar sentiment, with references to Democratic figures and local movements amid hostile reactions to Black people and draft resistance. The writer notes gatherings at Whartensberg and Organ townships, cliches of loyalty, and bartered payoffs in a shifting political landscape. The entry captures disorder, partisan divisions, and personal observations of Confederate and Union-aligned factions.
