The Confederacy had no political parties. It deliberately abolished them.
Jefferson Davis, Stonewall Jackson, Nathan Bedford Forrest, and Robert E. Lee were all Democrats, and Confederates.
Once again --- the Confederacy had no political parties. It had deliberately abolished them.
That means no Confederates had political parties. Is that too complex?
What does the fact that a bunch of Democrats founded the Confederacy, change somehow just because they chose the Confederacy first?
You clearly have a small mind, and severe OCD to overcompensate for that fact.
Western Europeans tisk, tisk
Apparently it was indeed too complex.
For the third time, the Confederacy
had no political parties. Those that came to power had former parties before secession, primarily Democrats and Whigs. Before the War Jeff Davis had been a Democrat; his VP Stephens had been a Whig. There wasn't a large majority for either. Had the Confederacy survived it's plausible that parties might have formed but ------ it didn't.
Furthermore in the election of 1860 directly leading up to the War, the South -- what would soon become the Confederacy --- shut out the Democratic candidate giving him the same number of electoral votes it gave Lincoln: zero. And after his defeat Douglas went on a speaking tour on Lincoln's behalf to try to preserve the union. That didn't hold off South Carolina (the state that had trashed the Democratic convention
and forced it to move) and the shit hit the fan.
And as mentioned above, Lincoln appointed Democrat Andrew Johnson as his military governor in Tennessee, and then took him for a running mate in 1864 as the "National Union Party".
Is THAT too complex? Because I can ramp it up.
