Second Bull Run. (Manassas, Virginia)

It was won by the Confederates, led by the Lee-Jackson team, who totally wrong-footed the Union leader John Pope.

After this Confederate victory, last of a long series, the British would probably have started sending military aid to the South. But the Westminster Parliament was in its summer recess, and had agreed to wait till it re-assembled before making its decision.

By that time, the North had scored an unexpected victory at Antietam, Lincoln had been able to announce the Emancipation Proclamation (turning the war officially into a crusade against slavery) and the British were ethically debarred from directly helping the slave-owners.
