Traitors ? Really ?

I received an email that was voicing an opinion about the confederate emblem for the license plates. In this opinion the writer states “Why would the State of Texas honor people who were traitors to the United States of America?” Traitors ? Really ? Traitors ? But, I guess by the true definition of the word what the 13 colonies did was treasonous as well as Sam Houston and the fighters of the Alamo and San Jacinto. So we are all traitors? As you can tell I take exception to the term “Traitors” as so broadly applied to the confederate army. I believe that the Sons of the Confederate Veterans license plate honors those who fought for what they believed in. So why wouldn’t the state of Texas honor it’s war heroes? This is a matter of fact and History……. Of course in my opinion.

Fact is it will become an option because there are presently 18 states that have this option available. In most of those cases the courts appeared to have sided for the option to be available.

Thoughts ?
