Did John Wayne ever play an Ex-Confederate?

No, he was always a Union character, most notably Colonel Grierson.

Yes, for instance in ‘The Searchers’ Wayne was an ex-confederate.

The article also mentions the Rooster Cogburn character.

Rooster Cogburn named his cat General Sterling Price. I don't think a Yankee would have done that.

“John Wayne: The Searchers, generally regarded as one of the greatest films of all time. True Grit seems to have Wayne as an ex-Confederate, though the book is less clear on that point. Certainly he is very Southern in the sequel, Rooster Cogburn (..and the Lady), where he rightly mistrusts the Yankee schoolmarm Katherine Hepburn.”
