Hollywood has always bought into the southern revisionist view of the Civil War and history, particularly in the locii and periods post the American Civil War. I'm actually writing a book about why and how. Eeek!
Whedon bought into it naturally, as can not be missed in Firefly -- like all those neo-cons who insist that hundreds of thousands of slave fought on the confederate side.
