Try saying the bunch of slaveholding megalomaniacs who seceded from the U.S. to begin the Civil War were traitors.
I'm from Georgia so I can say whatever I want. Most southerners didn't own slaves. The true reason we went to war is because northern factories couldn't compete with Brittish factories. So, they placed high tariffs on imported equipment. We were defending our cotton gins, not our slaves.

Breathlessly awaiting your exhaustive list of sources that "prove" that.

On second thought, maybe I'd better drop the "breathless" part.
