Saw this on Cash's blog

Where the reasons there was no Jefferson Davis Treason Trial happened are presented in good detail.

However, My interest got really piqued by the Youtube video.

Which seems to suggest the point of the book was that secession was a more nebulous concept than nationalist allow in the 19th century and continues so today. I like this suggestion as it follows my opinions about secession.

Let's take a look at the video, start after 9 minutes to avoid the preliminary comments.
