Southerners were not trying to overthrow the US government nor selling it out to a foreign nation. They were trying to build their own independent nation like the American colonies did against Britain. Were the Founding Fathers also “traitors”? The British certainly thought so at the time. Or do you think it’s fair to see failed revolutionaries as “traitors” but successful ones as “patriots”?

They rebelled against the US, much like the left today. The reason they rebelled was slavery. Despite what yhe lost cause brigade says.
