That didn't figure into their calculations. They knew they would lose because secession isn't treason according to the definition in the Constitution.Nope. They wouldn't even try Jefferson Davis because they know they would lose.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.Yes, TREASON against the United States, stupid! South Carolina was the first State that formally left the Union, 13 Dec,1860. The South Carolina Militia fired on Union forces in Fort Sumter on April 12, 1961. That was the day the USA first responded to the TRAITORS of what became States full of turn coat TRAITORS. So you "Get the fuck out of here."Against the United States????
THEY WERE PART OF THE UNITED STATES!!!
Get the fuck out of here.
They tried to leave the union, they fought, they lost, they were rehabilitated.
No one got convicted for treason.
They might have won the case, but lost the peace afterwards.
