Who was the commandar in chief of confederate states in the American Civil War?
There was nobody in the job of General-in-Chief of the Confederate armies until January 1865, when it went to the only possible choice, Robert E. Lee, but too late to make any difference.

But he was clearly out of his depth, unable to motivate his Generals or control his cabinet.

How did Abraham Lincolns reelection affect the South?
It ended the last hope of Confederate victory or negotiated peace. The election result meant that the North was voting to fight on. After this, the Confederates could do no more than resist surrender until the last moment, just because this was the Confederate thing to do. (Some would call it downright irresponsible.) The re-election of Ab. Lincoln put shame into the southerner's hearts. Also, the southerners knew that the war was over because of this event. After this, General Lee was surrounded and eventually surrendered at Appomattox Courthouse. Causing the war to be over, a Union victory.

Which general did lincolns cabinet want him to get rid of?
Lincoln's Cabinet wanted him to get rid of General George B. McClellan. Or, perhaps better said, not let him be in charge of major armies, and certainly never again as general- in -chief. General Henry Halleck was in charge of the West and US Grant reported to him. Halleck believed that Grant almost failed at Shiloh. This was due to Grant being the victim of a surprise Confederate army assault and perhaps not properly fortifying his position at Pittsburg Landing. Rumors about Grant's drinking problem was also well known Lincoln urged Halleck to stay with Grant because he believed Grant was a fighting general.
