Bull Run (Manassas)
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.

The first Battle of Bull Run took place near the stream by the same name and near the rail hub at Manassas, Virginia. Each side was unprepared for this battle which happened to be the largest one up to that time in North America. The Confederates won the battle to the surprise of the North, however, the South had always believed it could "whip the Yankees ". The battle was won by the South because they used the railroads between the two Southern armies in Virginia. The tactic they used successfully was called "interior lines" What this was was transporting the forces under General Johnston via rail and creating a concentrated force against the army led by Union General McDowell.

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.
The Battle of Bull Run
This battle was an early turning point in the Civil War in favor for the North. Stonewall Jackson died, which increased morale for the north causing them to win the battle at Chancellorville.
Gettysburg. General Heth had heard there was a warehouse full of shoes there, and moved to procur them for his men, when they encountered Union troops. It is a myth that the battle of Gettysburg started over shoes. The fact is Heth was told there were shoes there, and although they were never located, mainly because Jubal Early's troops had been through the town a few days before, and would have certainly taken everything of worth.
