The west =/= the south, no. But the archetypal Western is set in the period pretty much immediately after the Civil War and a lot of Western characters - usually heroes - are ex-Confederate soldiers. It's not just a Wild West motif, it's in the genre of Western. And that's a genre that has had a lot to do with the Civil War, historically, and the plots and characters of the Western tend to be associated with the Confederacy in pretty much the same way that the plots and characters of Firefly are associated with the Independents.

I'm not saying that the Independents are exactly Confederacy, or that Whedon is actually a Confederate apologist. But I think the parallels are there. I don't think it's ridiculous to say that.
