Confederate Names

I just came up with the best idea for the Trump administration. They REALLY want to name military bases after traitors (Southerners who fought against the Union), so why don't we let them start naming Trump's CONCENTRATION CAMPS after them?

That way MAGA nation gets what it wants: concentration camps and honoring traitors. They could even name one after Trump!

Can't be a traitor if one is defending their country from attack.

Nowhere in the Constitution, as it was written in 1787, is the concept of citizenship actually defined. In the five places where the Constitution refers to citizenship, it speaks of citizens of the states, and citizens of the United States. But the Constitution made no effort to sort out the relationship between the two, leaving the strange sense that Americans possessed a kind of dual citizenship, in their native State . . . and in the Union.

ntil the Civil War settled matters, there was a plausible vagueness in the Constitution about the loyalty owed by citizens of states and the Union, and so long as it could be argued that Lee was simply functioning within the latitude of that vagueness by following his Virginia citizenship, it would be extraordinarily difficult to persuade a civilian jury that he had knowingly committed treason.
