If that was the intention they hosed it up by making the browncoats the rebels, evoking 'lost cause' sentiment and directly creating analogies to the Civil War. If they had wanted to subvert the theme, they should have really made the Browncoats an established government that lost against a largely reactionary uprising (I think the FTL videogame has you as a Federation member facing against a stronger rebel force). Firefly, on the other hand, feeds directly into Lost Cause revisionism because not only it portrays the rebels as the good guys, but paints the opposition to them as utterly evil/expansionist, which in the end was the entire point of Lost Cause propaganda.
