What are some interesting facts about the Battle of Bull Run?
The Battle of Bull Run was the second battle in the Civil War. People also set up picnic baskets and watched the war. This happened because many people didn't know what war was like and didn't realize how horrible it could be.
Were picknickers at Battle of Bull Run killed?
Not in the battle. But there may well have been some killed in the stampede on the road back to Washington, when the bridge was blown up by chance, and there was pandemonium.
Where did confederate soldiers sleep in bull run battle?
No one slept at Bull Run. A battleground is not a place where people stay. In the civil war there were dead bodies on the ground that had to be removed or buried. Some civil war battles had so many dead that you couldn't see the ground and the streams ran red with blood. Neither army were on a camp out. I am not sure you understand just how brutal the battles were. On the first Bull Run the men literally threw down their guns and ran. Battles move so people who lived in the area found the battle in their front yard and bullets whizzing through their houses.
Why was the Battle of Midway such a significant battle for US?
Some people refer to it as a "turning point in the War", but that's a load of bull. The Japanese were still continuing to advance in the South Pacific, and it would be 4 more months before the Allies cleared them out.It was only regarded as an important battle for 2 reasons:1) It was the first major victory by the Allies against Japan.2) Every single enemy aircraft - all 248 of them - was destroyed, causing heavy Japanese losses.Answer:The Battle of Midway was the turning point in the Pacific area of the war. The reason for this is that the Japanese were taken by surprise, lost 4 cruisers in the battle, and were weakened.
How did bull run get is name?
Bull Run, the first major battle of the Civil War, was fought on July 21, 1861. There was a general desire of the Union Army to advance south to Richmond and engage the Confederacy in battle. The Union underestimated the south by believing that they would crumble after their first defeat. The inexperienced Union troops found the battlefield too much, and the Southern army took the time to establish lines and consolidate positions. General Sherman had found an unguarded ford at Bull Run, which he crossed and engaged the Confederacy in battle. The Confederates refused to retreat. Later in the afternoon, the Confederacy captured some Union artillery. The Union army retreated in disarray.
