First Battle of Bull Run

They were expecting the north to ambush the confederacy and win with an advantage, however, a spy named Rose Greenhow warned the confederacy so they south was prepared.

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.

Irvin McDowell

None that I am aware of. These regiments existed, but they were state regiments and not part of the Confederate Army. Given the racial attitudes of the time, I would think that they probably did not fight until much later in the war; after the South had been worn down by casualties, needed every fighting man it could get, and could no longer afford to be prejudicial.

The first battle fought in Virginia during the Civil War was that of First Bull Run, on July 21,1861.

The Battle of Goliad was actually a relatively minor skirmish, but it was the first victory in the battle for Texas independence. One Texas was injured and three Mexicans were killed.

Because it was still in the honeymoon period of the war, when everyone thought it would be all over in a few quick actions. The horrors of actual combat had not registered with the civilian public, and the press and the politicians had been complaining tha there hadn't been any action.

So a whole lot of Washington families came out to watch the battle, as though they were on a picnic.

It turned to disaster. When they wanted to go home, they congested the roads that the army needed, and there was chaos and a virtual rout.

Because the Confederate troops were largely poor trained militia. It was therefore confirmed the decision of keeping a cautious attitude. In details: the mutual coverage offered by Johnston's army deployed at Winchester and that of Beauregard on the line of Bull Run, linked by a railway that would allow a quick concentration to better counter the moves of the enemy.

so they didn't get hot and sweaty

The Union fell apart and Soldiers ran North.

They learned that the southern army could fight just as well, if not better than the northern army, and this would be a long struggle.

There were no similarities, except that Bull Run was the first significant battle in the East, and Shiloh was the first significant battle in the West.

The distance from Bull Run (Manassas, Virginia) to Antietam (Sharpsburg, Maryland) is approximately 50 miles (80 kilometers) by road. The two sites are significant Civil War battlefields, with Bull Run being the site of two major battles in 1861 and Antietam known for the bloodiest single-day battle in American history in 1862. The actual distance may vary slightly depending on the specific route taken.

The First Battle of Bull Run, fought on July 21, 1861, was won by the Confederate Army. Under the command of Generals Joseph E. Johnston and P.G.T. Beauregard, Confederate forces defeated Union troops led by Brigadier General Irvin McDowell. This battle was significant as it marked the first major land engagement of the American Civil War and gave the Confederacy a morale boost. The Union's defeat also highlighted the need for better training and preparation for its soldiers.

The first turning point in the First Battle of Bull Run, fought on July 21, 1861, occurred around midday when Confederate reinforcements arrived, led by General Thomas Jackson. This unexpected reinforcement bolstered the Confederate lines and helped to stabilize their position. Jackson's stand, which earned him the nickname "Stonewall," proved crucial in turning the tide of the battle in favor of the Confederates. Ultimately, this shift led to a Confederate victory and revealed the war's potential for greater intensity and duration.
