"Anti-war" agitation would be correct, as an early end to the war would have Southern Independence as a result. Southern support for Northerners against the war was not uncommon. I have read reports of money from Richmond actually being contributed to organizations and plots in the mid-west. The problem with that hope, however, was that when the Rebels said "Here's money; go do it" the northerners all of a sudden got cold feet! Not everything subversive up north was as actual as the St Albans, Vermont, raid and robbery.
