Answer

## Brief Explanations<br />The writ of habeas corpus is a legal action that requires a person under arrest to be brought before a judge or into court. Lincoln suspended it during the Civil War to maintain order and keep the Union intact. Copperheads, a faction of Democrats in the North, opposed the Civil War and wanted a negotiated peace with the Confederates. They would have likely protested Lincoln's suspension of the writ of habeas corpus.<br /># Answer<br />Copperheads
