“That’s rich....the Confederacy was made up of Democrats!!”
Freepers do love keeping their history as simple as possible. Especially when the make believe version is useful for current political controversies.
Alexander Stephens, CSA VP, had been a Whig from 1836-1851. A Unionist in 1851, and again a Whig in 1853
John Tyler, CSA Congress, had been the 10th US President, one of only four Whigs to ever hold that office.
Judah Benjamin, CSA Secretary of State, Secretary of War, Attorney General, was a Whig until 1856.
The CSA didn’t have political parties. Historians who examined the previous parties of elected officials in the CSA found them to be primarily a mix of Democrats and Cotton Whigs with Democrats holding an edge.
And we can add that the famous Condederate raider, John Mosby worked for/with Republicans shortly after the war. And so did General Beauregard.
