Best Answer

Also known as the First Battle of Manassas. It was the first major land battle of the civil war. A Confederate victory. The northern public was surprised, because they thought it would be an easy victory, which led both sides to the conclusion that this was going to be a more brutal and longer lasting war then they thought. On the Union side, 90 day men reenlisted and volunteering picked up. It is where Colonel Thomas J. Jackson earned the nickname "Stonewall".
