If you think Davis or any other Confederate governor or general is a "traitor", you just don't understand their viewpoint... which was the prevailing American viewpoint in their times, and before. It has deep roots, legal and philosophical in American history, and it is this - the States are sovereign. They have their own legislatures, constitutions, and obligations to citizenry. They may or may not continue to stay in the federated union. They are free to withdraw, and even to form confederations amongst themselves.
