Biography

Alexander Long (December 24, 1816 – November 28, 1886) was an American politician who served as the Representative from Ohio's 2nd congressional district from March 4, 1863 to March 3, 1865. He was a member of the Democratic Party.

During the Civil War, Long was a prominent "Copperhead", a member of the peace movement of the Democratic Party, and he was identified as being one of the war's most vehement opponents. Even though Long was a "free-soiler" Democrat who in his early years voted to repeal the "Black Laws of Ohio", he later opposed both emancipation and suffrage for blacks.
