DBWI Prevent the military coup in the CSA

As we all know, after the defeat in the Second War Between the States, General Forrest was so disgusted with the incompetency of the Confederate government that he took it upon himself to become the "Caesar of the South". I've always wondered if there was a way for the civilian government of the CS to remain in control, or was it doomed from the start? After all, the Confederate Senate and the various states had a hard time working together even under Jefferson Davis, and the military was the only institution in that country that always worked.
