Answer 2

The First Battle of Bull Run was fought near Manassas Junction in Virginia, the first major land battle of the US Civil War. To the surprise of many Northerners, the Confederate forces under generals Beauregard and Joseph Johnston won the battle. As an aside, this was the largest battle ever fought in North America.

Answer 3

In Virginia, Grant's long Siege of Petersburg was in progress, interrupted by the disastrous Battle of the Crater - a perfectly sound idea for undermining and blowing up the Confederate positions, that became one of the war's worst blunders.

In Georgia, Sherman was pushing the Army of Tennessee towards Atlanta, but he had failed to destroy that army, as briefed. Its commander Joe Johnston was now replaced by John Bell Hood, whom President Davis saw as a more effective leader, but it would turn out to be a ruinous appointment.
