1st Bull Run - Following some minor Union victories in the mountains (blown up big by the press), Congress thought the army must be capable of a march on Richmond. The army commander, Irvin McDowell, knew that his men were not sufficiently trained, but had no choice but to proceed.

2nd Bull Run - A large Union army was moving down from Washington to join forces with a smaller army outside Richmond. Together, these would be able to overwhelm Lee. But the unbeatable Lee-Jackson partnership was able to destroy the smaller force before the larger one arrived.
