Stainless,

Unfortunately, I am afraid you erred slightly in wording your question. I believe you should have asked for any convicted of treason. Charging is easy, but making an unconstitutional charge stick is a horse of another color entirely!

Deo Vindice!

p.s. Thanks for the ping, this was a really interesting article.

'Tis late and I did mistype. I meant convicted, not charged. For Davis and a handful of other CSA soldiers, the charges did not stick in 1869.

We've been down the path so many times. Thanks for correction Rebelbase.
