So we all agree, then? Ole Miss came from the term used by slaves to address the master's wife?

The Ole Miss nickname became synonymous with the university in 1908 due to the Old Miss train. Are you actually suggesting that students in 1908 started using this term because it was used in the Antebellum South?
