Ok, if I was the leader of a group that led an insurrection that led to the deaths of 700,000+ people, I would think that after hostilities ended, I would probably go on trial for treason. Why didn’t that happen?????
Good question.
In my opinion those treasonous criminals should have been hanged right after the war ended.
Davis, Stephens, Cooper, Lee, Beauregard, Bragg, Breckinridge Longstreet and all the rest of them.
It would have sent an everlasting message that treason against the United States will NOT be tolerated.
