Spectators at the Battle of First Bull Run, fought on July 21, 1861, gathered on nearby hills and elevated areas, particularly around Sudley Hill and the surrounding countryside in Virginia. Many were civilians from Washington, D.C., who came to witness what they believed would be a quick and decisive battle. The proximity of the conflict allowed them to observe the action, but the battle's chaos and violence quickly dispelled any notions of a swift resolution. As the battle unfolded, many spectators fled in panic as the reality of war became evident.
