There were many important Confederate victories during the Civil War, but the first major battle of the war, First Bull Run,or First Manassas, was a decisive Confederate victory. Without that, the Union could have reduced the time of the war by years. It got the Union off to a bad start, and the pattern of Union defeats obliterated moral. From 1861-1862, the Confederacy out-shined the Union at every battle. The victories at Second Manassas, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville showed the Union that the war would not be a six month affair, and that there was a real chance that they would be defeated.
The Confederate forces defeated the Union forces.
