Letters from General Rosecrans! To the Democracy of Indiana. Action of the Ohio Regiments at Murfreesboro'. Regarding the Copperheads. |
Summary |
The Rosecrans letters were addressed to the Ohio Legislature and the Cincinnati Common Council, acknowledging the praise of Ohio troops. The other items were intended to offset Indiana elements who advocated a Northwestern coalition with the Southern states. An additional letter, printed on the outside wrapper, by General R. H. Milroy denounced the Copperheads, Butternuts, and Knights of the Golden Circle. At the March 12 meeting Stephen Colwell proposed that all additional copies of the Rosecrans letter "be printed without the stamp or name of the Union League" and that the objectionable phrase "Regarding the Copperheads" be omitted (See HSP copy Wq .955, v. 1, where Union League name is eliminated, but "Regarding the Copperheads is retained). |
