Confederate Agitators

Bill, or somebody

Saw this in "Saginaw News" today:

"When Confederacy-backed anti-war agitators slipped into Detroit from Windsor and stirred up trouble during recruiting rallies, the Union moved its efforts to Saginaw. Here, according to a historic account, anyone trying the same "would likely wake up in an alley, pulverized."

a) Does this sound plausible on any account?

b) What is meant by saying, "Confederacy-backed anti-war agitators..." Doesn't sound right somehow. Wouldn't Reb agitators be PRO-war?

c) If the account is so, how much did this sort of thing happen in the "North".

d) To what degree was Canada amiable to the Confederate cause?
