How do we know this? The secessionists told us so. They took up arms and became traitors. How do we know this. The Constitution of the United States says. "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort." Secession is treason, and every loyal American must aid in putting it down.
