B. Sherman

Answer (2)

Let's take a look at this like this: Abraham Lincoln ran for the president twice, in 1860 and in 1864. The Civil War started only in 1861, so the relevant election is the one in 1864. This election had two candidates: Abraham Lincoln and George B. McClellan. (Additionally John C. Fremont was running in this election in the early stages, but later withdrew). Therefore the only possible answer is C. McClellan

The answer to the question is C. McClellan, as he was the Democratic candidate running against Lincoln in the 1864 presidential election. McClellan opposed making emancipation a condition for reconstruction, focusing instead on restoring the Union. This election occurred during the Civil War, reflecting the complex political landscape of the time.
