The Second Battle of Manassas, fought from August 28 to 30, 1862, significantly bolstered Confederate morale and solidified General Robert E. Lee's reputation as a formidable military leader. The victory allowed Lee to gain control of Northern Virginia and paved the way for his first invasion of the North, culminating in the Maryland Campaign. This battle also contributed to the Union's leadership struggles, leading to the appointment of General George B. McClellan as the commander of the Army of the Potomac. Ultimately, the Confederate victory at Manassas prolonged the war and intensified the conflict between the North and South.

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.
