One thing I've got to contend with...
Political Parties.
I HIGHLY doubt that such a thing would have existed in the Confederacy in 1867, if at all it would have been somewhere around 1900, IF the Confederacy didn't collapse into a Civil War of its own by the Panic of 1871 when the cotton economy collapsed completely, which was one of the results of the War Between the States.
Political Parties form when you have people in a nation with a strong central government of different cultures, priorities, ways of thinking, and economic systems. The idea of Confederate Parties is a fantasy from alternate history novels, not reality. Look at the US under the Articles of Confederation, a weak central government, no parties unless you count individual States as parties. The US Constitution? Almost immediately. The Confederate Government was weak and the States were more powerful, in a nation with several different sub-cultures all derived from the same original one, and mostly identical economies. So even with a strong central government they while they may have formed, they wouldn't have been a factor at all just different in name thus pointless.
Thus Political Parties on a national level would have not only not serve any real purpose, but also be a hindrance. On a State level? Probably serve no purpose either as the ultimate Political Party there would be the individual State itself, and one can't "carpetbag" from one State to another in search better climates to elected in as there interests would be the interests of another State, so they'd either have to stay home or switch party interests, in other words those of the State they moved to in over to get elected.
Besides, some Confederates in they're later years spoke with pride in their memoirs that the CSA wasn't hindered by such a self defeating, divisive system as having Political Parties. The very idea of them in the CSA is mostly rubbish and only good for an entertaining fiction, where they are almost always necessary to further the plot.
