Under that definition all British history books should label Washington a traitor. And while they could do this, no one does because they recognize that fighting for your home to be able to govern itself is not historically viewed as a traitorous act. Just to be clear, the US doesnt officially view Lee as a traitor and his US citizenship was reinstated. He was still a traitor to their empire, in every sense of the word lol. So was Lee to America. And of course his citizenship was reinstated, that doesn't mean you can't be a traitor --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rC7BAt96Xn0 <cite>Extreme_light posted [p:934060737] in Virginia w...
