True. There were indeed divisions within the Confederacy regarding race, class, and the role of government. These divisions affected the social and political dynamics of the Confederate states, influencing everything from military recruitment to debates over individual rights and the role of the central government versus state governments. Class tensions, particularly between wealthy plantation owners and poorer white farmers, as well as differing views on slavery and its implications, played significant roles in shaping the Confederate experience.
