Jefferson Davis - who accepted the job most reluctantly. He had been a West Point regular officer with a good record in Mexico, and felt strongly that he should be Commander-in-Chief of all the Confederate armies.
Lyndon Johnson was the first president elected from a Confederate State after the Civil War. He was from Texas. Jimmy Carter was the only president elected from the "Deep South" , being from Georgia.

"First president from the old south since before the civil war?"
Andrew Johnson was the first post-Civil War President from the south, but he was never elected: He assumed office upon the death of Abraham Lincoln and was never re-elected (in fact, he was nearly impeached). Harry Truman was from Missouri, which was a border state so he could possibly be considered, but the first clear-cut southern President was Lyndon Johnson (Texas). While his first term was assuming the Presidency after Kennedy's death, unlike Andrew Johnson, Lyndon Johnson was then re-elected on his own. Since then, there have been three 'Southern' Presidents - Jimmy Carter (Georgia), Bill Clinton (Arkansas), and George W Bush (Texas). George HW Bush is from Massachusetts, so wouldn't count.
Led by South Carolina, seven Southern states seceded from the union after Lincoln was elected and before he took office.
