“I was talking about the time directly after he had resigned from the US Senate”

He resigned January 21, 1861, the article you quoted was published in September 1864, check your facts.

“they chose not to fight it out in court.”

We agree on that point. The Constitution requires treason to be an overt act, not just a conspiracy, and there was no collusion with a foreign power . Davis was not a direct actor in the MI secession. Davis was one of the strongest voices against secession.

I said he resigned from the US Senate and then hung around in Washington DC hoping to be arrested so that he could argue the case in court. I’ve checked my facts. Nothing I posted refutes what I said.


Secession was not and is not treason. Chase admitted as much.
