The first big battle that followed Fort Sumter was the First Battle of Manassas, or Bull Run, in July 1861. There had been a minor battle before Bull Run, at Big Bethel Church, also in Virginia. This was not much of a battle but the first Confederates killed in the war died at Big Bethel, and it got a tremendous amount of attention in the newspapers.
