I don't think it's unreasonable to execute traitors for treason. Standing in arms against the government on the field of battle has to be considered treason. I also understand that there were political reasons not to execute all CSA veterans.

Hint for traitors: win.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I think a reasonable distinction between a traitor and a patriot could be the traitor misrepresents himself.

Bullshit. Plenty of traitors have won and are still considered traitors. A famous one has a namesake on this board.

Will they call it the Dylann Roof CSA Memorial after his execution?

Alcibiades seems like a traitor to me.

But geez just go look at Eastern Europe. Guys who are/were considered traitors had long and glorious careers all over the place.

They ought to build it on a Malcom X Boulevard.  Now that would be ballsy.
