Why on Earth would libertarians love confederates? Jefferson Davis ran one of the worst constitution trashing, big intrusive government, high tax, high regulation, fiscally irresponsible administrations in recorded history. The confederate cause was built on denying basic rights to one third of their population. It's supporters, while in the U.S. Congress, promoted government intervention at the expense of the states. The confederacy should by rights be an anathema to any real libertarian.

Pay attention to the rhetoric of Libertarians on economic matters. And don’t forget that they are also under the forces of Political Correctness. If you antagonize them enough, they will bash Lincoln, and praise the economic goals of the Confederacy.
