Best Answer

At the battle of First Manassas the fighting on the field was led by general Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard. He was assigned to that purpose by his ranking officer general Joseph Eggleston Johnston, who held the general supervision of the operations organizing and coordinating the affluence of reinforcements.

The most effective tactical action was that led by general Jackson, whose brigade managed to held on its "crucial" position on the Matthew's Hill against the superior Union Forces until reinforcements arrived.

They lived in the areas invaded by the Union armies. They don't belonged to the regular Confederate units but to the State's Militia or Home Guard and many times to the place's own populace.

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.
