Not long after Union General John Pope lost to the Confederates at the Second Battle of Bull Run, President Lincoln relived pope and sent him to the the western frontier to deal with Native American issues. His Army of Virginia that Lincoln created for him was incorporated into Major General George B. McClellan's Army of the Potomac. Lincoln believed this was necessary in order to hamper Robert E. Lee's war operations.
