The question is "what Lee"? The loser in West Virginia in 1861? "Rapidly Excavate" Lee in 1861-62? Davis' fourth choice for the army in Virginia in 1862, after GW Smith?
Or if he's the same Lee as who died in 1870, the question is - what army does he have in 1866?
If its the Army of Northern Virginia, the question has to be asked, why is there even an army? Is the war still going on? If not, guess what - there ain't going to be an Army of Northern Virginia; the PACS is gone and the ACSA consists of a few dozen officers. If there is some sort of RA, the question has to be: who's across the border?
Someone - ideally the OP, since it's (his or her) thread - has to offer how one gets from 1861 to 1866. Without that, it's so vague as to be unanswerable.
Best,
What "Loyal South"? The entire South would back Lee over Davis. Bragg's men would back Lee over Davis or Bragg. If he has to count on Bragg, Davis might as well shoot himself on the spot and not drag out the agony.
