Well if you are going to go that route, than so was George Washington and the other founders. The only difference between them and the Confederates is that Mad King George III decided to stop the bloodshed after he had lost 15,000 men.
King Lincoln kept the carnage going until 750,000 people had been killed and the South had been turned into a massive starving wasteland.
The way I view it the solders had little choice - they fought honorably and I don’t hold it against them. It’s the politicians that I consider traitors - namely jeff davis.
there was a reconciliation and the states were re-admitted. And Reconstruction.
R.E. Lee supported President Johnson’s plan of Presidential Reconstruction that took effect in 1865–66.
On May 29, 1865, President Andrew Johnson issued a Proclamation of Amnesty and Pardon to persons who had participated in the rebellion against the United States.
Jeff Davis was among a committee of 13 U.S. senators who attempted to find a suitable compromise after South Carolina left the Union in December 1860
Davis: His U.S. citizenship wasn’t restored until 1978
Does that mean all the CA Liberals pushing for Calexit are Traitors too?
If so, why hasn’t the Federal Government (The Union) arrested them, charged them and put them in Prison?
Just making conversation. LOL
