Lets say the south lost the war in 1862. Now lets assume that things had settled down back to normal and the confederate states were already re-admitted. Lets say that former confederates were allowed to run for office. Who would you vote for on this list to match against Lincoln?

I believe Vance was a democrat as he was also the senator from NC. Not sure about Lee or Jackson.

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

He told the senator from Rhode Island, right on the floor of the senate. "I could stand on one side of your state and piss across to the other side of it" lol

Longstreet might have bneen the primary opposition to Lincoln.

Well until Gettysburg at least. After that he lost a lot of popularity in the south.

Yeah because after Gettysburg the south became opposed to winning the war they started Longstreet was a genious and was also a master of attack as well as defense (see Chickamauga)

Opposed to winning the war? Never heard that theory.

Likewise, if the slaves had been freed and could vote, they may have voted for the "liberating general,"  McClellen or a Southerner who was at least personally opposed to slavery, Lee.

Jackson was a bigger opponent to slavery then Lee. He actually ran a sunday school for black children and taught them how to read and write.
