People who wanted to work out the south's differences with the north

Copperheads

Explanation:

The Copperheads were a faction of the Democratic party that developed in the 1860s. They were also known as Peace Democrats due to the fact that they opposed the American Civil War. The Copperheads wanted to reach a peace settlement with the Confederates. This was a highly contentious position, and Copperheads were generally disliked by both sides of the conflict.

it is a part of john locke's natural rights popular during the age of enlightenment that people had inalienable rights to life, liberty and property. this was reflected by thomas jefferson in his declaration of independence as rights to life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

another line in the declaration of independence is that people have certain rights just because they are human. humans are capable of obeying the three natural rights john locke mentioned making them governable by these laws and therefore entitled to these rights as well.
