As far as post-War heroes go.
Lee, Bragg, Breckinridge, Jackson (possibly), Forrest, and maybe Hampton or Polk are going to be the big names in the public mind for the pro-Davis Democrats.
Longstreet, Hardee, Cleburne (wonder how his friendship with Hindman would go), Johnston, and Beauregard are going to be big names for the Whigs.
The Fire-Eaters. During the war they had lost some traction, after all if the CSA is independent by 1863 the thirst is quenched for them. Even Edmund Ruffin just might shut up ITTL. The only names I can think of outside of Rhett, are William Barksdale, John Pettus, and the aforementioned Thomas C. Hindman.
