I'm not sure if Lee, Jackson and Vance were all Democrats. I guess you checked that, though. Wink
If the war was over by 1862, are you implying that slavery still existed? Also, I don't think any Ex-confederate would have run. None would have stood any chance of winning anything in the non-confederate states (Kentucky excepted), and they must have known that.

McClellan of course. The only nontraitor.

well I doubt they were Republicans.

They would likely be barred from running though.
Wasn't Vance a Constitutional Unionist?

No, that was by no means certain.
Republicans won quite a few EVs in the South in 1868, and not all of these votes came from Blacks.
If the war had been much less destructive, there would be much less reason for white Southerners to be exclusively Democrats.

anyway I agree with Lewis and say McClellan. All the other guys deserve nothing more than a musket shot to the head for treason.
I didn't say they deserved to be shot. Nor do I believe that.

States is right, Vance was a Democrat both before and after the war.
