As Union General John Pope was about to enter the huge Second Battle of Bull Run, he had a number of advantages. His army outnumbered the Confederates and his artillery was far superior. In addition, his Army of Virginia was growing as Federal troops from General McClellan's army were reinforcing Pope's army.
John Pope was a career United States Army officer and Union general in the American Civil War. He is best known for his defeat at the Second Battle of Bull Run in the East.
The Second Battle of Bull Run ended the same results as the first battle.

This drove the Union forces up the slopes of Henry House Hill. Certainly subsequent actions were important, however, the tactic mentioned was the beginning of the end of Pope's invasion.
