Nonsense. Please post that to which you refer.
The Chase quote where he supposedly said secession was not treason.
Have I ever quoted anything that later was shown -not- to be what I said it was?
To save about half a dozen posts-- corroborate the quote you got from Burke Davis' book to which I refer above.

Wow Walt, I posted it what? two days ago. I have since found that EXACT same quote cited in two other books, which I have ordered for verification purposes. Even the "refutation" you provided acknowledged that it was unlikely that Davis made it up.
