There were a number of problems facing Union General John Pope as the Second Battle of Bull Run was soon to begin. One problem was the fact that the Confederate forces were far more mobile. For example, Stonewall Jackson's infantry was able to march 120 miles in two days. Also, Pope could not match the quality of the Southern cavalry. The knowledge of the terrain was also against Pope. The Rebels knew more about the landscape then did Pope.
