Answer:

B) Confederate soldiers almost invaded the White House.

Explanation:

This is because, when General McClellan fell out with Lincoln, he contested for the 1864 presidential election against the Republican Lincoln's reelection.

<em>His popularity declined when he repudiated his party's platform (Democratic Party), which promised an end to the war and negotiations with the southern Confederacy.</em> His negotiations with the southern confederacy was seen as a betrayal of trust.
