No, no one was vulnerable to charges of treason.  From Grant to Lee in 
the surrender terms at Appomatix... " each officer and man will be 
allowed to return to his home, not to be disturbed by United States 
authority so long as they observe their paroles and the laws in force 
where they may reside."
Full text of the surrender terms and Lee's response here:
