What was the battle during the civil war that was on a creek?
Almost every Civil War battle was on a creek. There was bound to be one somewhere on the battlefield. The Confederates called the battles after the nearest town; the Yankees named the same battle after the most prominent body of water nearby. So, for instance, the Battle of Antietam is usually known by that Yankee-given name, for Antietam Creek. The Rebels called it Sharpsburg. Another was what the Confederates called the First and Second Battles of Manassas. The Yankees called these Bull Run. A "run" is a big creek in that part of Virginia, the bulls were buffalo seen there by early settlers.

What was one of the early battles in the civil war?
First Bull Run/Manassas was the first pitched battle - July 1861. Neither army was anywhere near ready for operations. The Union had the advantage in artillery, and appeared to be winning on account of it. But one Confederate unit was wearing blue uniforms, and the gunners thought they were friend, not foe. This swung the battle in favour of the Confederates. However the Confederates were not able to pursue and destroy the Union army, and the battle had no significant result.
