He was indeed a true American hero, until he turned traitor to America.

"One man's traitor is another man's hero." How can a man be considered a traitor to a country of which he is not a citizen?

If he wasn't a citizen of the United States, he wouldn't be a traitor, just like John Brown wasn't a traitor to Virginia, even though he was hanged for it. However, unilateral secession being an illegal, unconstitutional action, Jefferson Davis remained a citizen of the United States and thus was a traitor to the United States.

Well put. But for the pernickety poster, the A in CSA stood for America.

When he launches and then loses a bloody rebellion.

If you read that article you posted, most of the accomplishments he attributes to Davis were done in and for the country he later turned traitor against.

Then how can he be a hero to it?

I have never met Calvin Johnson but know of him and greatly respect his work for Confederate Heritage. I am a little surprise though that he used American instead of Confederate in the article.

So Jefferson Davis - and Robert Lee and Joe Wheeler and Kirby Smith and Alexander Stephens and half a dozen other Confederates - wage a bloody rebellion against the United States and then have their statues displayed in the very capitol of the very country that they committed treason against and nobody raises a stink. But try and install a monument to Union soldiers at Olustee and all you Rebel wannabees throw a world class hissyfit.

If it hadn't been for unilateral secession there wouldn't be a United States.

No doubt trying to be insulting to the Yankees.
