After the First Battle of Bull Run in July 1861, the Confederate forces, though victorious, did not invade Washington, D.C., primarily due to exhaustion and logistical challenges. Many Confederate troops were low on supplies and morale was mixed, with some soldiers eager to return home after their victory. Additionally, the Confederate leadership, including General Beauregard, was cautious about overextending their forces and risking a counterattack from the Union army. The opportunity to capture the capital was deemed less favorable than consolidating their gains and preparing for future engagements.
