Why do you think it was treason?

Treason because Loyal subjects were firing at Government troops if that ain't treason then what is ? .

 

[Remington 1858]

Under British law. it almost certainly was treason. Later, when the U.S. became independent it defined treason in Art. III, section 3 of the Constitution. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted. Even under this definition; certainly insurrection, possibly treason.
