The Confederate States territory was invaded. They didn’t so much enter armed rebellion as simply defend themselves. You can post as much B.S. as you like but the reason that no Confederate leaders were tried for treason is because both sides knew it wasn’t treason. It wasn’t lack of opportunity and it wasn’t benevolence, it was because the government knew they would lose the case if they brought it.
Start a war and things like that happen. Having done so, if you can't keep your opponent out of your territory you have nobody but yourself to blame.
They didn’t so much enter armed rebellion as simply defend themselves.
Rebellion is defined as open, armed and usually unsuccessful defiance of or opposition to an established government. That's a pretty fair description of what the Confederacy did. Especially the unsuccessful part.

And take your job away from you? I'd rather not.
...but the reason that no Confederate leaders were tried for treason is because both sides knew it wasn’t treason.
There are a number of reasons why Davis was never tried but any idea that his acts were not treasonous were not among them.
It wasn’t lack of opportunity and it wasn’t benevolence, it was because the government knew they would lose the case if they brought it.
Nonsense.
