President Lincoln was deeply disappointed with the Union defeat at the first major battle of the US Civil War. He realized that prompt and decisive action was necessary. He called upon Major General George B. McClellan to form and train a new Union army in Washington DC.
After the Union defeat at the Battle of First Bull Run, Lincoln appointed gen. George Brinton McClellan as a commander of the whole forces operating in Northern Virginia and those that garrisoned Washington.
Gen Irwin McDowell was dismissed from his former commitment but kept the command over all the units he brought back from Bull Run.
After the defeat at Bull Run President Lincoln stepped up recruitment for the Union army. Over a million new soldiers were enlisted.
After the Union defeat at the First Battle of Bull Run, President Lincoln called Major General George B. McClellan to come to Washington DC and organize the Union army there into a well organized fighting force. Later, after the Union defeat at the Second Battle of Bull Run under Major General Pope, McClellan was again asked to command Union armies in the East. Pope had failed and McClellan was put in charge again of the Army of the Potomac. He would again have to deal with the Army of Northern Virginia under the command of Lieutenant General Robert E. Lee.

US President Lincoln was shocked and dismayed at the performance of his top generals when the Second Battle of Bull Run resulted in a Union defeat. The immediate response from Lincoln was to move General John Pope to a command in Minnesota and thus "out of the way". Lincoln was also upset the his general in chief, Henry Halleck had failed to coordinate the forces of Pope and McClellan to avoid the loss at Bull Run. Despite the objections of Lincoln's cabinet, Lincoln placed McClellan in charge of troops protecting Washington DC. The cabinet blamed Pope's failure by the deliberate inaction of McClellan. Lincoln did this as he was certain only the organizer and trainer of troops, General George B. McClellan was his only choice to defend Washington DC.
Lincoln was the US President, directing the Union armies. These armies lost both the Battles of Bull Run.
