I think for a comedy it was fine, I don’t think they were trying to do commentary on the Civil War so much as an origin story for the exploitation the family is involved with and has been since the days of The Civil War.
It shows how the original Elijah came to understand how he could manipulate people with religion, when he calmed men that were about to be executed with prayer.
If it was a serious show I’d agree but it’s satire.
