The correct answer is George B. McClellan - the correct answer is B.

He lost to Lincoln very dramatically: Lincoln got over 70% of the votes.

McClellan saw slavery as in agreement with the Constitution - and later agreed that slavery needs to be abolished , but he would have favoured a gradual abolition.
