You are absolutely correct, Mr. Davis. God bless you, Sir! President Jeff Davis,
nor any of our Confederates committed the act of treason by forming the
Confederate States of America, and even U.S. of A. Chief Justice Chase had this to
say about it:
"If you bring these leaders to trial, it will condemn the North, for by the
Constitution secession is not rebellion..."
