Copperhead

From TheBestLinks.com

In biology, a copperhead is any of four species of venomous snake: the American copperhead of eastern North America, and three species of Australian copperhead.


The Copperheads were a group of Northern Democrats who opposed the American Civil War, wanting an immediate peace settlement. They were also called Peace Democrats. They were against emancipation, formed groups to persuade Union soldiers to desert, and helped Confederate prisoners of war escape. The name Copperheads was given to them by Republicans, explicitly comparing them to venomous snakes that strike without warning.


In rock climbing, a copperhead is a small nut, once made of copper or brass, but now usually of aluminium.


Copperhead is a brand of BBs and pellets.


Copperhead is the codename of Vivica A. Fox's character Vernita Green in the movie Kill Bill, directed by Quentin Tarantino.
