Why would a convicted traitor be glorified?

because he had died in battle.
because he fought for a popular cause.
because he was sponsored by foreign governments.
because he had stood up to the president.

Because he fought for a popular cause.

Explanation:

Sometimes, governments and the people disagree on the aims that are worth pursuing. Therefore, sometimes people are happy and grateful to know that someone is brave enough to stand up to the government. This is the case in this example. A convicted traitor would be someone who betrayed the government by going against its wishes. However, he could still be glorified if he fought for a popular cause.
