Henry Clay Dean

Henry Clay Dean

Henry Clay Dean was a copperhead anti-war activist from northern Missouri during the American Civil War. Like other copperheads, he opposed the emancipation of the slaves and considered the war to be an illegal aggression. In his article "The Bloodmarket of the Rich", he argued the entire war was conceived by an international conspiracy of bankers and "stock-gamblers".

A Methodist clergyman, Dean was appointed United States Senate Chaplain on December 4, 1855. [ [http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/briefing/Senate_Chaplain.htm] Senate Chaplains office and list]
