"If the Rebels were traitors, then more than one Union General should have been tried for treason for carrying on their friendships with former school- and unit-mates on the other side during the war."

Kinda reminds me of today's North Eastern Republicans and Democrats getting along so well.

Wow. Good analogy — up to a point.... Meaning that, whereas I hold a good deal of respect for most of the generals (on both sides) of the Civil War, I have ZERO respect for today’s North Eastern Republicans and Democrats.
