The difference between a book and a statue

[Ninurta]

As an aside and before I head to snoozeland, section 3 of the Constiturion allows for treason against any citizen of the United States to that wages war against it to be treasonous. Now you could argue they seceeded and then waged war but now it really is word salad and any U.S. court that wanted to prove that against a Defendant most likely would according to most Constitutional scholars

Indeed, they did secede, and then told the US to get off their lawn. The Commandant of Ft. Sumter refused to get off their lawn, and that is why they bombarded Sumter - to repel invaders on their territory. After Sumter fell, Lincoln declared war on the Confederacy and called up 75k troops "for 3 months service". It was a very long 3 months.

It was no more "treason" under the Constitution than it was "treasonous" against Germany for the UK to refuse German overtures of overlordship in WWII. They were separate countries. The Constitution you speak of was the US Constitution, not the Confederate Constitution. Extending it over the Confederacy would be like trying to extend it over Mexico, and make Mexicans beholden to US law on Mexican soil.
