You know, that's an interesting angle. I still don't think he NEEDS to be an ex-confederate for it, I agree with >>149734004 that it still works as a parallel if he's a union vet or an ex-slave or whatever, but it is at least more justification than none at all.
If one was doing the type of adaptation that expands on stuff rather than being a 1-to-1 retelling, you could even use that angle for a line or two, cast John Carter's adventures and diplomacy as him being the Martian Great Uniter.
