Margaret Mitchell
"The president of Morehouse College wrote to her to ask for support for such students and she began a private campaign of donations, which enabled perhaps 70 to 80 black men to become physicians. It did not become public knowledge until many decades after her death." http://www.timesledger.com/stories/2012/16/kowald_we_2012_04_19_q.html

BONUS:
Lewis "Lew" Wallace
Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ
Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind
Wallace's novel was blessed by Pope Leo XIII
wiki/Ben-Hur:_A_Tale_of_the_Christ
 
I´m not sure if the grammar limits it to actual novelists of the civil war (means: contemporaries) but if the wider meaning is used, so including all those writing about the civil war, I´d say Margaret Mitchell.

As for the bonus this is of course Lew Wallace who wrote Ben-Hur which dominated until the release of 50 Shades of the South who still are all Grey (better known as Gone with the Wind). That pope should have been Leo XIII.
