Tredway found that the judge advocate general in some of the cases against Democrats accused of undermining the war effort had "protected prosecution witnesses, browbeat defense witnesses, practiced brazen partisanship, and even accepted third-hand testimony."<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CopQakAajYQC&pg=PA116&lpg=PA116&dq=Gilbert+R.+Tredway&source=bl&ots=cTp8ITFX48&sig=iLNKIapYmc3HhxDLwUinjKd6yqY&hl=en&ei=uhBtTaDzC8H2gAeTgPWVBA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&sqi=2&ved=0CCYQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=Gilbert%20R.%20Tredway&f=false|author=Michal R.

Tredway's research reveals that the large majority of Indiana Democrats were not Copperheads, the best known of which was [[U.S. Representative]] Clement Vallandigham of Ohio, but were loyal to the Union and desired national restoration. A [[Princeton University]] thesis from 2005 finds that secession had been painful to most people in Indiana, whose agricultural economy depended heavily on southern commerce and on the [[Mississippi River]], at least before the rise of [[railroad]]s, as a way to bring commerce to market. "Formation of the Confederacy and the commencement of hostilities thus threatened both the livelihood and the identity of many in Indiana," writes Elisheva R. Coleman in her study entitled ''Call It Peace or Call It Treason''.<ref>{{cite book|url=http://web.princeton.edu/sites/jmadison/awards/2005-Coleman_Thesis.pdf|title=Elisheva R.
