Was there a medal equal to this in the Confederate armies?

There was indeed a confederate Medal of Honor, which was authorized by the confederate war department in 1863, but due to shortages of the metals needed to create them, the confederates simply listed those who were awarded such medals on a “rolls of honor” as a substitute.

It wasn’t until 1968 that an actual Medal of Honor was created, per the direction of the Sons of Confederacy to be awarded posthumously to those already listed on the rolls of Honor.

Recipients must be shown to have "distinguished themselves conspicuously by gallantry, bravery, and intrepidity at the risk of life, above and beyond the call of duty, while engaged in action against the enemy of the Confederate States of America." Most recommendations are derived from the Confederate Roll of Honor. Medals are provided to museums and libraries under a condition they properly display them.

Robert E. Lee was pardoned by Gerald Ford in 1975 and is still considered a great American. All the Confederates were Americans. There is not division anymore. They fought for their homes.

Don't matter what side they fought on, you have to admire bravery even if they guy was a Zulu Warrior.

Generals Lee and Jackson specifically were good men and are deserving of recognition. They were honorable men and confederate soldiers should be honored as they were fighting for their homes. Whether good or bad, anyone brave enough to put their life on the line and sacrifice it are worthy of praise and remembrance. Don’t let any yellow bellied libshit who wouldn’t consider serving a day for their country convince you otherwise.

Were they? Lee and Jackson owe their status to supposedly being successful military commanders, not to their being good human beings.
