Because Congress was so shocked by the unexpected Union defeat at 1st Bull Run.
By December of 1861, Radical Republicans and even some Democrats were dissatisfied with the way the US Civil War was being conducted. That month the US Congress created the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War.
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.

An example of a joint committee is: Say if the Transportation committee wants a new road the taxes committee will have to work with the Transportation committee to make sure that the new road will be in the budget. That will make the two houses have to join up and work together. Which makes a joint committee. And Yeah. Hope this works for you.
News of the Sand Creek massacre outraged many citizens in the east. Since the massacre took place during the US Civil War, the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War investigated the incident.
the investigating committee created to handle issues surrounding the American Civil Warhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Congress_Joint_Committee_on_the_Conduct_of_the_War
This committee was formed by the US Congress as an oversight committee to see how well the Lincoln administration and its generals were handling the US Civil War effort. It was formed by radical Republicans who did not trust the West Point graduate generals or the Lincoln administration. This therefore was demoralizing to the US military and to Lincoln and his administration.
Stop the War Committee was created in 1899.
a war conduct is how the battle was fought, in a way rules of the war.
