The Court upheld the Treason convictions, yes.

2. Admiration for Confederate generals will always outstrip admiration for just about anything Union. Lee and Jackson were among the very best men in American history. Sherman and Sheridan were not. Grant's best moment was his graciousness toward Lee at Appomattox. A lot more was necessary to put him in Lee's class as a man.
The states themselves belonged to their citizens' respectively (See Amendments IX and X) before and after secession. The trains, ships, guns, forts, real estate, etc. were given by the Buchanan administration to Confederate state militias and/or state governments not stolen by southern tax collectors. The family property of southerners of any and all persuasions burned and destroyed by Sherman were not freely given and not morally taken.
