Very interesting!
Jon
The story of the Copperheads, gaudy with secret symbols, passwords
and other conspiratorial paraphenalia, is bloody and full of mighty
terror. Beneath the theatrical props were real violence and
fanticism. The true scope of the Copperheads will probably never be
known. When Richmond was burning, Secretary of State, Judah Benjamin
burned the record of his and Hines' secret dealings with the
Copperhead leaders. However, Hines kept copies of many of his
reports and letters, which he sent to his wife with instructions to
hide them.
The Knights of the Golden Circle Mayor may not have been the
outgrowth of the Southern Rights Clubs of the 1830's. Six ships, all
equipped for piracy, were sent out on the high seas by the Clubs,
but they were seized and burned by the British.
In 1854 a wonderful old humbug, George W. L. Bickley, took over the
Clubs and organized the Knights of the Golden Circle, with
headquarters in Cincinnati, Bickley had an impressive list of
medical degrees - all forged, of course, - and a suitcase of secret
signs, symbols and a "book of rites". Under his management the
Knights spread like wildfire all through the Cotton South. From
hocuspocus rituals they turned to violence and conquest when they
tried to promote the extension of slavery by the conquest of Mexico.
Secession wee their goal in 1860. "Castles" as the Knights called
their lodges, sprang up in non-seceding States. Bickley, active in
this work in Kentucky, was threatened with arrest and fled to
Virginia. But the movement flourished in Kentucky and became a real
danger to the Union Army after war broke out.
Not all the Knights knew the secret aims of their leaders. Many
solemnly went through the fantastic rituals, swore their oaths,
believing themselves to be only Democrats preserving the freedom of
the ballot against tyrannica1 Republicans. Only those who took the
last two advanced degrees of the ritual were told - then only
orally - of the violent goals their leaders had set. Armed sentries,
sometimes the strength of a full Company, guarded the meeting places.
In Illinois the Knights were openly gathering recruits for the
Confederate Army in 1861. In Iowa they burned the homes of men who
joined the Federals. In Des Moines the U. S. Marshall found evidence
that the Knights were gunnrunning into Missouri for Quantrill's
guerrillas. In August, 1862 the Chicago Tribune declared the
movement had 20,000 members. Missouri membership was reported from
10,000 to 60,000 with Castles springing up in every section of the
State.
Althought I find no connection between the two groups, long before
the hysteria of secession and actual warfare which brought the
Copperheads into being, a group of men in our government dreamed of
an empire to stabilize slavery in the area. They took the first
opportunity to do just that. Their idea was that an imaginary Golden
Circle be drawn, 16 degrees latitude and 16 degrees longitude, with
its center at Havana, Cuba. It reached north into Pennsylvania and
Ohio, also including the slave States, and South - - to the Isthmus
of Darien. It embraced the West Indian Islands and those of the
Carribean Sea with a great part of Mexico and Central America. The
idea was, to purchase Cuba if possible, otherwise take it by force.
Their first opportunity came when the U. S. Merchant vessel Black
Warrior wee seized and condemned by authorities at Havana (28th Feb.
1864) for an error in her manifest. A clamor for war with Spain
broke out among expansionists in Congress. Pierre Soule' U. S.
Minister to Spain, presented a claim for damages, followed by an
ultimatum demanding immediate satisfaction. Secretary Marcy checked
Soule', and in 1855 the U. S. accepted a Spanish apology and
reparation. Soule' was instructed by Marcy to meet at Ostend,
Belgium, with John Y. Mason, and James Buchanan, U. S. Minister to
France and Great Britain, respectively, for the purpose of shaping a
policy on the acquisition of Cuba. The meeting with the approval of
President Pierce, resulted in the Ostend Manifesto. Declaring Cuba
indispensable for the security of slavery, the Ministers recommended
that the U. S. should make every effort to buy Cuba, should Spain
refuse, "then by every law, human and divine, we shall be justified
in wresting it from her, if we possessed the power."
