Anyone calling the President of the CSA an "American Patriot" is gotta' be on drugs.

Agreed, if you define "America" as "USA."

However, the supporters of the CSA, though horribly misguided IMO, were still Americans.

Jeff Davis was a USA patriot to 1861, and a CSA patriot thereafter.

True. But would you call Benedict Arnold a USA patriot to 1780, and a British patriot thereafter?

Should the word "traitor" not be applied?

“a CSA patriot “

That's like saying Hitler was a German patriot after he decamped from Austria.

A CSA patriot is a USA traitor.

He should have surrendered after Gettyburg. Lots of good men died because these “patriots” had egos the size of the south.

He should have hanged.
