re: Were the Confederates terrorists?

-What is a traitor anyway? Would you be loyal to your country before your actual home?

-What would you do if the south or even just your home state seceded today?
-Would you stay home and be loyal to where you live or would you move away and remain loyal to somebody you don't know?

-How do you know who you are betraying and who you are being loyal to?

-Were Colonial Americans traitors because rebelled instead of being loyal to rulers 3,500 miles across the ocean?

-Are Texas and California traitors because they were originally a part of Mexico and seceded into independent republics before joining the U.S.?
-Should Texas and Cali start being loyal and go back to Mexico?
-If that happened would they be betraying their current country in the U.S. or being loyal to their original country in Mexico?
