Wait a second. These guys who just wanted to farm their land and raise their families were “traitors” because they wouldn’t join the Confederacy??? Explain the logic behind that, if you would, please?
Treason did never flourish. What’s the reason?These nice, newly minted Americans saw treason flourishing - and made the mistake of calling it treason. It was their last mistake.
If treason flourish, none dare call it treason.
I don’t think you read the NY times article...only the San Antonio article.
They were traitors and were going to Mexico so that they could escape to New Orleans to join the union army.
Why would they join the Union army and kill confederates? Peaceful people yes?
