Very good!
Word definition games are so annoying, it's nice to see when they can be turned on the accuser.

Except for the fact that one of them is objectively true, and the other is not. Even New Hampshire and Ohio Native Samuel P. Chase knew better than to accuse Jeff Davis of "treason."
If you bring these [Confederate] leaders to trial it will condemn the North, for by the Constitution secession is not rebellion. Lincoln wanted Davis to escape, and he was right. His capture was a mistake. His trial will be a greater one.
