Traitor is a meaningless term. You dont consider washington and co to be traitors do you ?
"Traitor" and "Founding Father" depend totally on who wins the war. Hence the ongoing dissonance between the reverence paid our FF's and the scorn heaped on the Civil War leaders. It would be quite disingenuous, for example, to decry having statues of Civil War generals around while working to create images of the Bonnie Prince.
You could argue the founding fathers were more "traitors" than the Conferderate leaders. They were men without a country.
Yeah, I find it interesting that massive amounts of scorn are heaped on the Confederate leaders while the Founding Fathers are revered, both for defying the government of the day and splitting off to form a new nation. Now, we did get a positive result out of the war with the abolition of slavery.
But there are numerous pictures of the civil war. There arent any of the Bonnie Prince. These things are good to see,
But is a traitor worth the effort to create this image?
He had a case.
Look at Guy Fawkes. His image became a popular culture icon due to a comic book movie and Anonymous hackers. We really are silly creatures.
