Why were the two battles of Bull Run fought near the Stream of Bull Run?
The Stream of Bull Run was where the railroad was, known as Manassas Junction. Confederate forces wanted and did capture Union supply depot at Manassas Junction, threatening communications with Washington D.C. that was 25 miles away, by the Manassas Junction Railway. Manassas Junction had obvious strategic value. Anyone who controlled theses rail lines would be able to move troops and supplies into the heartland of the Confederacy and not too far from the beachhead on the Potomac River, for Union supply lines. Even though Confederates won two major wars at Manassas Junction, Manassas stayed with Union throughout America's Civil War. ***The Union also named their battles after geographic locations.
