No. Tyler was never truly a traitor. He was loyal to his state of Virginia and remained loyal when the state seceded from the federal union. Many people believed that states joined the union voluntarily and so could leave the union if they disagreed with the course the union was taking. Virginia and 12 others states seceded and formed a new country, the Confederate States of America . The Civil War broke out and some of the people who were against the confederacy called Tyler and other Southerners traitors. He was not a good president, but being a traitor was not his problem.
