Senator Zachariah Chandler was the chairman of the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War. Chandler was a Radical Republican who used the Committee to undermine Lincoln's war policies. They also harassed Union generals and members of Lincoln'e administration. In its time the Committee was the greatest threat to the political stability of the Union.

Radical Republicans who were dissatisfied by the way the Lincoln administration was pursuing the Union's war efforts formed the Congressional Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War. This committee was formed in December of 1861. The Committee's investigations on the Union's war efforts caused fury and controversy throughout the the war. It impacted, for example, Lincoln's selection of political appointees to generalships.
