It showed both sides the war wasn't going to be short and it would be bloody. The battle was held on a Sunday afternoon and people treated it like a event to watch. After church families took picnic baskets out to watch the battle, but they soon ran for their lives. Battles move and the armies were not ready for the awful nature of war. Many of the men threw down weapons and ran.
