No. The Confederacy based their ideology on Thomas Jefferson, who was a Democratic-Republican, a liberal. Also, since the Whig party had died out, especially in the South, most Confederates were Democrats. Federalists were conservatives. Where you are probaby confused is in accounts in which Confederates are noted as also following Washington, whom some history books label as a Federalist. It is true that the Confederates also looked to Washington, but, while he may have had some right wing leanings, he was against political parties and not really a Federalist. The political doctrine of the Confederacy was to restore the original plan of unique American democracy through states rights, rather than a domination of industrializing northern states and the strong federal government they were trying to create, via more representation in the House (hense the 3/5th rule) which obviously would have been in their favor. The Federalists were in favor of strong federal government. You might want to read about the debates between Jefferson and Alexander Hammilton regarding interpretation of the Constitution.
