The Neighbor’s War by Bill Marvel
“Conway was a Copperhead town, where most voters opposed Abraham Lincoln’s war. Dozens of citizen nevertheless served in the Union Army, but with diverse motives. Some undoubtedly believe in the value of national unity, some sought adventure, and many more were poor enough to need the pay, but most of them responded to escalating offers of cash bounties. The folks at home attended to business, devoting little attention to the war until the strain on filling the armies set them against each other.”
