Bull Run as it was known in the North, or Manassas as it was known in the South. Before this battle soldiers on both sides worried that the war might end before they would get a chance to fight.

Often called the First Battle of Bull Run, the first major battle of the American Civil War took place near Manassas, Virginia, in July of 1861.
