White supremacists and counter protesters clash in Charlottesville

Doesn't change the fact they committed high treason.

I'm sorry man.  It makes all the difference in the world.

Treason is treason. If you're side wins, you get away with it. It doesn't change the fact that you committed the crime.

Since none of the leaders of the rebellion were ever tried for treason, in fact Andrew Johnson issued a general amnesty, and also, gave pardons to many individuals who engaged in the rebellion. Anyone who wants to call them traitors needs to own up to the fact that our founding fathers were just the same.
