What caused President Lincoln to reappoint General McClellan to lead the Army of the Potomac?

Looking back, it would seem absurd to reappoint General McClellan to replace General John Pope as the commander of the Army of the Potomac. Lincoln did this over the heavy objections from his cabinet. Added to that was Lincoln's belief that McClellan actually sabotaged Pope at the Second Bull Run and the knowledge that McClellan might again chose not to engage Robert E. Lee. For one reason only is the assumption that McClellan was the only general that could lead the army.Later this would prove to be true as several other generals would replace McClellan after he was dismissed.

This is called redistricting (drawing new district boundaries).

Once the Census is complete the seats in the House are redistricted in order to accommodate the change in the state population. So say New York lost 500,000 people from 2000. Well the 2010 Census will redistrict the amount of seats New York gets to make it proporationalApportionment
