Best Answer

The Union strategy in the First Manassas was that of outflanking the enemy's

left flank by means a night march of three divisions, while the remainder of the army would have diverted the Confederate's attention developing fake attacks on their front.

Once carried out the manoeuvre, the outflanking task force would have assailed the Rebel Army from the rear.
