Bull Run was the scene of two battles, both won by the Confederates.
The first was the premature attempt by the Union army to march on Richmond. It showed both sides that they were not ready for majoroperations, and no significant battles took place for another six months.
The second was a spectacular victory by Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. They were in danger of being overwhelmed by the meeting of two Union armies. By acting quickly, they managed to put the smaller one out of action before the bigger one could arrive. It demonstrated the strength of the Lee-Jackson partnership, able to perform quick, nimble movements that could outwit much larger forces.
The name 'Bull Run' relates to a little stream in the Shenandoah Valley that had no great significance. But the North always liked to name its battles after the nearest water-course, while the South preferred to use the name of the nearest town. This was Manassas, so the South calls these by the nameFirst and Second Manassas.
