No.  Because I oppose the death penalty AND because if you executed Davis for treason, you'd have to execute a lot of other Southerners.  That's all this country needed after the Civil War.  More bloodshed.

Good reasoning.

Ben, you're wrong. Secession is perfectly legal (with a caveat).

I might have ask Lee to head up Reconstruction as well.

That would have been wonderful, but the RR's would have never allowed it.

Uh...no thanks. The last thing we needed was the symbol of the Lost Cause in a position of power.

I think it's fair to say that a Unilateral Declaration of Independence is legal when the people declaring it win.
