The first pitched battle, with two armies marching into action, was Manassas/Bull Run in July 1861.
It showed that neither of the two armies was ready to go out on operations.
The earlier action at Fort Sumter could not be described as a battle in the full sense, as it was obvious that The Union would not be able to defend this tiny island-garrison, which soon had to be evacuated.
Other early actions in the Virginia mountains also could not be described as battles, though the press wanted this to be so, and wrote about great epic struggles that had not happened - yet.
