Notes -
Other commenters have given good reasons why winning the war was more or less out of JD’s hands. You’re relying on foreign recognition and the addition of more border states to even force a stalemate.
Lincoln, on the other hand, has a few opportunities to avoid Union disasters. Several of them involve McClellan.
