It's a bit worrying when the CSA has fewer unopposed elections than the South does nowadays...
The Southern Whigs still had their death throes at the time, aided by the sheer incompetence of the Davis administration (IIRC they managed to win a majority in the House in the 1863 elections). They were killed off for good when the Confederacy fell and the Republicans began to draw the opposition vote, and then Jim Crow happened.
