President Lincoln had to make many political appointments during the US Civil War. This included military appointments which included John C. Fremont to head the Western Department that included Missouri. It's true that Fremont had a role in securing California during the Mexican American War. The political realities were Fremont's leadership in the abolitionist wing of the Republican Party. Also there was pressure from German Americans and the politically powerful Blair family. These factors counted allot, plus Fremont was eager to take the job as a major general.
