Democratic Party
The Democratic Party was formed by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in 1792 and held considerable power in the years leading up to the Civil War. The Democratic Party became divided in the 1850s over the issue of slavery, with some factions in the north supporting abolitionist causes, some northern factions supporting accommodation of the South and Southern Democrats supporting the continuation and expansion of slavery. During the elections of 1860, Southern and Northern Democrats nominated separate candidates for president. After the Civil War broke out, former Southern Democrats held considerable clout in the Confederate Congress. Northern Democrats lost much of their political power in the North during the Civil War.

Political Parties in the Confederacy
There were no recognized political parties in the Confederate States of America. Most Southerners, including Confederate President Jefferson Davis, opposed political parties, considering them to be a corruption of the principles of republican government. However, many of the members of the Confederate Congress were former Southern Democrats. A few had been Constitutional Unionists or Whigs. While there were no political parties, per se, Confederate politicians often divided over the issue of whether to have a strong central government. Nationalists, including Jefferson Davis, favored giving the Confederate government broad powers, especially in war time. Libertarians, led by Alexander Stephens, favored a very limited confederate government, reserving most powers -- including most war powers -- to the individual states.

Wrong again Gummo. Political parties were never established in the Confederacy. They didn't even establish one for John Breckinridge in the 1860 election (who finished second to Lincoln overall) before the election. That said, other than the Constitutional Unionists which dried up soon after the 1860 election (and who finished third), and the Whigs which had already collapsed --- there were no other political parties left by the time the CSA seceded except the Democrats (who had finished last with zero electoral votes from the South).

As already noted, the Republican Party was all of six years old in 1860 and had established no presence at all in the South and run no candidates, until after the Civil War ended, so "former Democrat" was the only category left. The ongoing Democratic Party existed in the United States, of which the CSA was not a part until variously readmitted between 1866 and 1870. Only then did the Democratic Party start to dominate the South; before 1861 there were other parties; during the War and until re-admission there were NO parties.

(this is another reason the six ex-soldiers who founded the Ku Klux Klan in 1865 could not have been "Democrats" -- they did not live in the United States.)

Jeff Davis was a former Democrat; his VP Stephens had been a Whig, a Unionist, and by 1860 a Constitutional Unionist. Former US President John Tyler was the only name of note elected to either Confederate Congress. He had last been a Whig.

Democratic Party
The Democratic Party was formed by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in 1792 and held considerable power in the years leading up to the Civil War.

This isn't quite accurate. Sometimes the DP tries to claim ancient roots but Jefferson's party was the "Democratic-Republican Party" and unrelated. The actual Democratic party was organized by Martin van Buren out of the Jackson era, which was vaguely and informally divided into "Jacksonians" and "anti-Jacksonians". Van Buren, Jackson's VP and successor, organized them into a formal party and the name "Democrat" was first used in 1834. When Jackson ran for President, he didn't have a poitical party. Van Buren would have been the first Democrat to run.

The divisions between pro- and anti-slavery factions were indeed common to several parties of the time. It split the Whigs completely. Some like the Know Nothings tried to just ignore it apparently hoping it would go away. So did the Democrats by and large. Van Buren himself was an abolitionist and later ran again for the Free Soil Party, even though he had organized the Democrats.

Links? You want links? Got your link right here Hunior. History of the Southern United States -- Section: "Leadership"

>> The Confederacy decided not to have political parties. There was a strong sense that parties were divisive and would weaken the war effort. Historians, however, agree that the lack of parties weakened the political system. Instead of having a viable alternative to the current system, as expressed by a rival party, the people could only grumble and complain and lose faith.[29]:690

Historians disparage the effectiveness of President Jefferson Davis, with a consensus holding that he was much less effective than Abraham Lincoln.[29]:754 As a former Army officer, senator, and Secretary of War, he possessed the stature and experience to be president, but certain character defects undercut his performance. He played favorites and was imperious, frosty, and quarrelsome. By dispensing with parties, he lost the chance to build a grass roots network that would provide critically needed support in dark hours. Instead, he took the brunt of the blame for all difficulties and disasters. <<

And as already noted repeatedly, the Southerners disrupted the Democratic convention of 1860 to such an extent that it had to be suspended and moved out of the South entirely. Then when the DP nominated Stephen Douglas --- he got entirely shut out in the South.

So again -- as noted in my first post here --- it would be impossible for "Democrats" to have won the Civil War in the South, since they did not exist there. Nor, to state the obvious for the oblivious, was it a war between political parties anyway, nor does everybody automatically join one just because you do.
