For the Union - Irvin McDowall. Sherman was also present.

For the Confederates - Joseph E. Johnston, who partly deferred to his junior colleague P.G.T. Beauregard on account of the latter's knowledge of the terrain. There was also Brigadier-General T.J. Jackson, who gained his nickname 'Stonewall' at this battle, though he was not famous at that time. The name came from a disputed remark by Brigadier-General Barnard Bee, who was mortally wounded immediately afterwards, so no-one could ask him what exactly he was saying.

What were the events that lead to the battle of manassas?

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.

Why did Lee refused to command the Confederate troops at the first battle of Bull Run?

I fear that the asker of this particular question has received their information from an unreliable source. Since Robert E. Lee commanded the battle as second Manassas/Bull Run the asker can only be refering to 1st Manassas/Bull Run so I shall answer that. While Lee would later make his name as one of the finest American General to ever live before 1st Manassas/Bull Run he was unavailable to Command a Confederate Army in the field because he was not recognized as a Confederate General. In early 1861 Lee was Commander of the Virginia Militia and acted as a liasion officer to the Confederacy during the period of time that 1st Manassas/Bull Run occured. During that period the Virginian forces had yet to be turned over to the Confederacy. Even if he had been available he would not have been offered the job as Beauregard had earned the position at that time by being the first and only successful General the South had while Joe Johnston got command in the Shenandoah Valley on the merit of being the Confederacy only other General.
