The Second Battle of Bull Run began on August 28, 1862 when Confederate Stonewall Jackson attacked Union troops marching along the turnpike at Groveton. This was west of the old battlefield of the first Bull Run. Jackson then reverted to a defensive position, knowing that until General Longstreet's forces arrived. Union General Kearny launched a daring charge at Confederate lines but was beaten back.
