A chaotic retreat by the Union troops after hundreds of local picnickers blocked the road back to Washington which the army wanted to use, an enemy shell destroyed the only bridge in the area, and a rumour spread that the Confederates' fearsome Black Horse Cavalry were about to commit mayhem upon them.

Bull Run as it was known in the North, or Manassas as it was known in the South. Before this battle soldiers on both sides worried that the war might end before they would get a chance to fight.

What was the Battle of Bull Run?

The "First Battle of Bull Run" was a battle that happened in Manasses, Virginia on July 21, 1861, during the US Civil War. It was the first major engagement between the opposing armies of the North (Union) and South (Confederacy). The defeat of the Union forces dispelled any hope of a quick end to the war. A second battle at this location, called the "Second Battle of Bull Run" was fought a year later, on August 28-30, 1862. This was another, less overwhelming victory for the Confederacy, and was a boost for the South.
