The events leading to the Battle of Manassas, also known as the First Battle of Bull Run, were rooted in the rising tensions between the Northern and Southern states over issues like slavery and states' rights. Following the secession of Southern states and the formation of the Confederacy in early 1861, the Union aimed to suppress the rebellion. The Union Army, under General Irvin McDowell, planned an advance on the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia. The clash occurred on July 21, 1861, as Confederate forces led by Generals Beauregard and Johnston sought to defend their territory, resulting in a chaotic and significant early battle of the Civil War.
