Wilson Dorr - armed effort to install a 2nd government he was pardoned in 1845 4) Jown Brown - armed insurrection to free slaves (remember the hanging in ''The Blue and the Grey''?) 5) Many from WW II - various convictions of war crimes against the U.S. (lending aid and comfort to the enemey IS treason) 6) Julius and Ethel Rosenberg - violation of the 1917 espionage act (gave military secrets to the Russians)
