Against the United States????Except, leaving the union was not clearly forbidden.Honoring those patriots who fought for the security and preservation of the United States is one thing and Americans should never forget them or their sacrifices.We have to learn about our history, honor those that fought and learn from mistakes made so many years ago.
Honoring TRAITORS of the United States who took up arms against this Nation and the Constitution to create their own Slave Nation separate and apart is anathema to all reasonable and honorable conduct!
Furthermore, the terms of surrender included no treason for anyone and complete reconciliation after reconstruction.
So, take your "traitor" nonsense and get the fuck out. They would have been traitors to their own state if they fought against it.
I can tell you have a very simplistic understanding of it all.US ConstitutionExcept, leaving the union was not clearly forbidden.

Article III, Sec. 3 Cls. 1
" Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. "
They were TRAITORS when they levied war against the United States in 1861, fool!
Leaving the union and the terms of surrender after the fact, are NOTWITHSTANDING, you bloody fool!
THEY WERE PART OF THE UNITED STATES!!!
Get the fuck out of here.
