Calhoun of South Carolina, Henry Clay of Virginia and Kentucky, James Polk of Tennessee, Zachary Taylor of Louisiana, John Tyler of Virginia, not think of themselves as citizens and public servents of the American nation? "I know no South, no North, no East, no West, to which I owe any allegiance," said Henry Clay. Did not they, and Jefferson Davis and Robert Lee and their cohorts, all pledge oaths to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, their nation? Are not those who broke those oaths and waged war upon their nation, traitors? Do you support insurrection and treason? >they fought for their State against the Lincoln usurpers who invaded them. I see, the southern attack on Ft. Sumter, which inaugurated the war, was an invasion by the North?
