"No medals were ever used in the Confederacy either. At that time the greatest honor that could be bestowed upon an individual or unit was to be "mentioned in dispaches"."

Len, there was indeed an attempt to create a Confederate Medal of Honor. No medals were struck but a Roll of Honor was created. For further info see this link. Also, check out Gregg Clemmer's book Valor in Gray
