Take it up with the Constitution.

Feel free to point to the part in the Constitution that defines a traitor and says the Confederates don't fit that definition.

Article III defines Treason.
None were tried, much less convicted.
Jefferson F. Davis wished to be tried; but the SC advised against such, for fear he would be found not guilty.

I know where it is. Lay it out.
This should be good.

So what.

He was part of a blanket pardon by Johnson. Stop trying to rewrite it.

He was not part of that pardon, nor was Lee.

We'll get to that. Article III. Still waiting.

Read it for yourself.

I have read it. Don't back down now.

This is where you bombed out, both of you. They were all American soldiers. The Union soldiers were Americans and sons of the south were soldiers of the Confederate States of America.
And actually, there was no United States of America. That ceased the moment of secession. All that was left was a Union of northern states. During the war it was Union and the CSA, all were American soldiers!

So did American Indians. Are they traitors as well?

What do you think?
Posted on 8/22/17 at 11:07 pm to DisplacedBuckeye
What do I think? I'm thinking, "why won't he answer the question?" You said people that kill American soldiers are traitors. I'm assuming that you are just talking about confederates. So I am asking you, just to clarify, does that mean American Indians are traitors as well? It's a simple yes/no answer.

You posed the question. I figured you could at least offer your answer to it.

No I didn't. For reference:
