Often called the First Battle of Bull Run, the first major battle of the American Civil War took place near Manassas, Virginia, in July of 1861. Resulting in a clear but not decisive Confederate victory, this battle helped many Americans on both sides of the conflict realize that the war would be both lengthy and difficult, no matter who would eventually win.

What did the Roman Senate do in order to avoid a costly civil war in their empire?

The senate could not do much to avoid the 12 civil wars in the Late Roman Republic. It could not stop strong military commanders who had the loyalty of their troops from fighting each other. Moreover, in the first few of these wars, it sided with one of the fighting factions, that of the conservative commander. In one of them, the senate was actually one of the fighting forces. This was Caesar's civil war against the forces of the senate. The Liberators' Civil War was fought between supporters of the senate and supporters of the assassinated Julius Caesar.
