It's possible that National Cemeteries in the south started before the Civil War do have both Union and Confederate dead interred. It's like that with the Chalmette National Cemetery, which was begun after the War of 1812. Two Confederates are buried at Shiloh National Cemetery.
The DVA also has relations with state cemeteries. Those in the South may have Confederate soldier burials. Whether state or federal regulations apply there, I don't know. Most likely federal, given the way things are.
Visited Andersonville National Cemetery last year.
year.
Lot of Union P.O.W.’s buried there.
Union had Prisons for captured Southerners that were equally as bad but then again the North won so they write the history.

Knoxville National Cemetery a place I once worked at while attending school under a VA Program has at least one CSA buried there. That cemetery was established during the Civil War and a large percentage are Civil War vets. The grave marker clearly stated CSA under the persons name and he was a Captain IIRC. In some areas like East Tennessee loyalties were split. At least one West Point Mountain Rebel General came out of Sevier County for example.
