I did look up the numbers and the numbers say you're wrong. Also, traitor to who? The Confederate States decided to break away. In those days, loyalty was to States, not to the USA. They would have been traitors to refuse to fight against the North.

After the war, the North decided to mostly forgive southern fighters because of this question of who their loyalty was to. (Same for most German fighters after WW II.) Calling southern fighters "traitors" is an attempt to revoke that forgiveness and restart the war.
