At the time of the US Civil War, very often troops numbers were not always an exact number. One reason for this was on the Confederate side, at least, their record keeping was not always accurate. The Union's troop numbers are deemed by historians to have much better accuracy. Also, very often the number of casualties and battle deaths were also not easy to account for. Wounded soldiers who later died, often were not so easy to track.With all that said, the round numbers of troops involved in the Second Battle of Bull Run were as follows:

A. Union forces under General John Pope numbered 70,000; and

B. Confederate forces under General Robert E. Lee numbered 55,000.

How many Confederate troops did General George B McClellan believe were being used at the Second Battle of Bull Run?

Although Major General George B. McClellan was not part of the Second Battle of Bull Run, he estimated that General Lee had 120,000 troops. This was double the actual number of troops that General Lee had at his disposal. McClellan's estimate was based on numerous rumors instead of actual facts. McClellan had consistently over estimated the number of Rebel troops that were operating in Northern Virginia.
