Most Northerners were surprised at the outcome of the First Battle of Bull Run. The commonplace idea in the North was that a "US Army" would easily defeat a "rebel army". The Northern loss in that battle was shocking to the North. They had no reason to believe the Southerners could win.

Many northerners were surprised at the outcome of The Battle of Bull Run because the (inexperienced) Union troops had fled back to Washington and The Battle of Bull Run was a smashing victory for the south that had won by Jackson.
The average Northerner (and Southerner) expected it to be a short war, without any bloodshed.
The Battle of Bull Run demonstrated that the war had not yet begun properly, that the armies were only starting to become trained and equipped, that the two sides were evenly matched, and that the country could expect a long, bloody war.
It ended hopes of a short, glorious, bloodless war.
They learned that the southern army could fight just as well, if not better than the northern army, and this would be a long struggle.

The outcome of the first Battle of Bull Run, which was a Confederate victory was a huge surprise for most Northerners. The Union was confident that the Confederacy, which had to build a military army from virtually the ground up, would be no match for the Union's small but standing army. The Union's high command had no idea how unprepared they really were for a large battle, and had no idea that an untried Southern military force would give the North a solid victory.

It demonstrated that it would not be a short, bloodless war. It also demonstrated to various Washington picnickers that battlefields are not for civilians.
