Davis was a man who served in the U.S. Senate. To return to his home state and then lead that same State and other States against the U.S. government that he had served under is nothing less then treason.

You seem to have things bass-ackeward. Davis served in the U.S. Senate. He was not a servant of the federal government. He was a servent of the people of Mississippi.

If a case could have been made against Davis, it would have been attempted. It was not. Perhaps all they needed was your legal expertise to carry it out. Legal experts of the day, lacking your expertise, knew it was a loser and that pursuit would rend the nation asunder.

Stop trying to redefine words to mean what you want them to mean, the way the Southern Cabel wants to redefine reality.

Take a look, joker - it is you attempting to alter the definition of treason.

Mississipi the last time I looked was part of the United States of America.

Leading it in rebellion against the U.S is treason.
