There were two Battles of Bull Run as it was called in the North (or two Battles of Manassas as it was called in the South). In the first battle (1861), General McDowell was the general for the North, and General Beauregard was the general for the South. In the second battle (1862), General Pope was the general for the North, and General Lee was the general for the South.

Union - Irvin McDowell.

Confederate - Joseph E. Johnston, who delegated some authority to P.G.T. Beauregard on account of the latter's knowledge of the terrain.
