Union General John Pope advanced his forces against the smaller army of Stonewall Jackson. Jackson was able to push back Pope's army and this forced General Pope to attempt what is called a double envelope assault on Jackson's troops. The Union attack was mismanaged and resulted in a frontal attack on Jackson. Confederate General Longstreet arrived at the scene of the battle with 30,000 troops. They attacked Pope's left flank causing Pope to retreat, but a well organized retreat.The end result was that 55,000 Southern troops defeated Pope's 62,000 troops.
Losses were heavy on both sides.
