So, if The USA wants to withdraw from the UN and Tommy Franks was offered command of the UN forces to invade DC and prevent this, Franks would be a traitor if he didn't accept. Many in the South considered their State as more sovereign than the United States (plural).

Blood is thicker than water.

When given the option to fight for his or her country(north) or to go home and fight for his or her family/state I'd dare say 90% of people would choose family. The other 10% would probably be shot by family if they returned home.
