If your citizenship was gave you by your state, it would seem the only treason would be to not follow your state. It would have nothing to do with slavery, especially since the US was continuing slavery as well....suppose if one didn't want to defend slavery they would have fled to Canada......I can't see myself committing treason in order to defend slavery. Who can?
Being a Missourian, I would have answered the call of the MSG.
It would seem no different then today now that citizenship is granted by the country. It's fine to debate if we should go to war and for what reasons, but once the decision is made, you follow the course set. Which seemed true then as most from both sides did indeed follow their states.
