Best Answer

The usual pattern was of confusion (even confusion over which side whole battalions and even regiments were on); Union attacks on Confederates with poor planning and outdated tactics; Confederates holding on despite losses; and the Union forces falling back but not retreating with heavy losses. This pattern held for nearly every battle in the east for the first two years. Battles in Kentucky and Tennessee, however, resulted in heavy losses for both sides and a fairly steady Union advance.

You dint Win the bettle but you won the war how is this possible?

Just losing one battle is somewhat insignificant to the entire war. Wars consist of multiple battles, so the more battles you win increase your likelihood of winning the war. For example, in The Civil War, the South won at least seven battles, but the North won the war. The North also won more battles.

I am not familiar with any songs about Bull Run in the Civil War. Early in the war, the Union named its battles after rivers or streams, hence Bull Run. The Confederacy named its Battles after places. Hence the same battle was named The First Battle of Manassas. The South won the war.
