I'm not sure you understand what treason means, regardless of the esoteric arguments about the states' right to withdraw from the union.
Lincoln's whole basis for the war was that those states were part of the union or HIS COUNTRY and he went and killed them. He can't fight their leaving w/out it being treason. In order for it not to be treason he had to recognize them as sovereign states from his country (which means recognizing their right to leave) in which case he was nothing more than Hitler.
Which one do you prefer?

Again, you are fundamentally not understanding what treason actually means.

This doesn't make any sense.
