The newly-elected US President in November 1860 was Abraham Lincoln, but the nation immediately split in two.
The Confederacy elected its own President, Jefferson Davis, who would be the only one.
Lincoln remained in office until he wss assassinated, just after the surrender of Robert E. Lee - the notional end of the Civil War (there was never a peace treaty, because the Union did nor recognise the Confederacy as a sovereign nation.)
Davis tried to flee, but was captured soon after resigning.
