Are ther any songs about the bull run in the civil war?

I am not familiar with any songs about Bull Run in the Civil War. Early in the war, the Union named its battles after rivers or streams, hence Bull Run. The Confederacy named its Battles after places. Hence the same battle was named The First Battle of Manassas. The South won the war.


Did The confederacy won the first Battle of Bull Run but the union won the battle of Manassas?

Well... The Battles of Mannassas and Bull Run are actually the same battles. The reason for the different names is that the winner usually named the battle. The South named their battles by the Towns near the site of the battle. The North named theirs by means of rivers or other naturally occurring landmarks. There were two battles at this location. One was won by the South and the other by the North. Correction: both were won by the Confederates.
