The confederate states seceded. So you think breaking away from a central govt makes one a traitor?So he was disloyal to his country, to the Union, to the USA. He was a traitor. He got a pardon.
Statues of him were put up honoring a criminal, as his pardon didn't go into effect until I believe the 1970s. echincally, Lee was not a US citizen.
