Benedict Arnold was a traitor to the Americans, and a patriot to the British. That’s the nature of civil wars. Robert Lee was a traitor to the Americans, and a patriot to the Rebels. Most of the traitors (from an American perspective) after the revolution became Canadians, whereas most of the traitors (from an American perspective) after the Civil War remained the USA which is why the US focused on reconciliation and treating them respectfully.
