You are going somewhere you should not be going, calling Lee a “Traitor”....Lee had resigned his commission, therefore he was released from that oath.

If you take the time to examine facts, you will find that prior to the “Late UnPleasantness” Most people were loyal to their home states. Even Lee’s former enemies, such as Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, and US Grant did not consider Lee a traitor.
