Robert E. Lee was not a traitor. His home state of Virginia left the Union, therefore he felt obliged to leave. Had he not sided with Virginia, he would be a traitor.

So once again then, what were the people in the South who engaged in guerilla warfare against the Confederacy? Were they traitors?

To the South, Yes, since they attacked their country/region. I support there guerilla actions, however. Lee would have been a traitor to the south, (See Winfield Scott, a favorite General of Mine) had he sided with the north. The Confederacy may have been born in sin, but treason still applies.
