At least one founding father thought a little rebellion was a good thing. I’m not a fan of the confederacy. It was democrats doing what democrats do but if you can’t leave the union, then we are not a democracy as tha left claims.

They were traitors. Do you think fighting against your country for the right to own slaves is more conservative than being a traitor for other reasons?

They weren’t fighting their own country. Do you understand what secession is? The democrats left the Union and started a new country. Do you think California wanting to leave makes the state a traitor ?

The difference is they’re not going to literal war over it.
