[Non-Sequitur]

Do a "GOOGLE" search, type in Jefferson Davis, Treason, and read the MANY accounts, etc. They all point to one conclusion. The Feds would have LOST the case, and losing would have meant that secession would have been vindicated, and it would have showed the US Government for what it was: An invader of a sovereign nation, that unjust war was fought to conquer and subdue such nation at bayonet point.

Complete nonsense. Davis had about as much of a chance of walking as did those swept up in the Lincoln assassination conspiracy.

Well, it seems some well known historians and jurists DISAGREE with you. Nolu Chan is right. The proof could be in front of your face, and you wouldn't believe it.

[Non-Sequitur] Complete nonsense. Davis had about as much of a chance of walking as did those swept up in the Lincoln assassination conspiracy.

The only conspirator tried before a civilian jury, John H. Surratt, tried in Washingdon, D.C., WALKED.

100% of those tried before an Article III court WALKED.

Apparently, Davis had a 100% chance of WALKING.
