The Congress and the states provided a punishment for traitors the likes of Jefferson Davis, in the 14th Amendment. Davis never again held a position of trust in any government of the United States.

Personally, I think he got off easy.

Ex post facto legislation again.

I'm glad you pointed that out. It shows the moral gulf that separates guys like you from the men who actually fought Davis's armies.
