First Battle of Bull Run

If you mean who was "victorious" at The First Battle of Bull Run, it was the Confederates lead by Stonewall Jackson.

1. He was the man that gave the nickname Stonewall to Thomas J. Jackson.
2. He died before anyone could ask him if he was praising the man or condeming him.

I'm pretty sure that it proved that the war would be hard and last longer than what was previously expected

It took places in 1859.

there was hills, streams, rivers and wooded areas

Her brother went off to war, when her dad did not want him to. Her brother and her dad had fights about him going to war. Her brother was killed in battle and Lily was very sad.

As it was the first battle of the war, the supply of uniforms had not been formalised, and some of the Confederates were wearing blue.

This caused a Union battery to hold their fire until too late, and contributed to the Northern defeat.

The outcome of the first Battle of Bull Run, which was a Confederate victory was a huge surprise for most Northerners. The Union was confident that the Confederacy, which had to build a military army from virtually the ground up, would be no match for the Union's small but standing army. The Union's high command had no idea how unprepared they really were for a large battle, and had no idea that an untried Southern military force would give the North a solid victory.

YES

The south won. :(

But the north won Shiloh! :D ;) 0-:)

First Bull Run - Irvin McDowell

Second Bull Run - John Pope

I fear that the asker of this particular question has received their information from an unreliable source. Since Robert E. Lee commanded the battle as second Manassas/Bull Run the asker can only be refering to 1st Manassas/Bull Run so I shall answer that.

While Lee would later make his name as one of the finest American General to ever live before 1st Manassas/Bull Run he was unavailable to Command a Confederate Army in the field because he was not recognized as a Confederate General.

In early 1861 Lee was Commander of the Virginia Militia and acted as a liasion officer to the Confederacy during the period of time that 1st Manassas/Bull Run occured. During that period the Virginian forces had yet to be turned over to the Confederacy.

Even if he had been available he would not have been offered the job as Beauregard had earned the position at that time by being the first and only successful General the South had while Joe Johnston got command in the Shenandoah Valley on the merit of being the Confederacy only other General.

The Union army was commanded by the unlucky Irvin McDowell, who knew that his troops were not sufficiently trained for combat.

The Confederates were commanded by Joseph E. Johnston, who conceded some authority to P.G.T. Beauregard, on account of the latter's greater familiarity with the terrain.

The North had more supplies of all kinds.

The Confederate States won. For further information, see the related link.

Yes, all of the Union soldiers except one returned safely to the north, and the one who died was killed accidentally during a cannon salute. At the time U.S. Major Robert Anderson surrendered the fort on Saturday, April 13, 1861 no soldiers had been killed in battle. The terms of surrender were quite generous, and allowed Anderson to perform a 100-gun solute before he and his men were to evacuate the fort the next day. During the salute, an accidental explosion killed one of the gunners (another later died of his wounds). All of the the other Union soldiers marched out of the fort and boarded a boat that ferried them to the Union ships outside the harbor. They were greeted as heroes on their return to the North.

Shocked and humiliated. They realised it was not going to be a short war. And they needed a new army commander.

Two crucial factors were Stonewall Jackson's immovable defense, which prevented Union troops from breaking the line, and the arrival of reinforcements by railroad.

Their attitudes about war were very similar - the Civil War would be short, glorious and a victory for their own side.

This battle proved them wrong.

From what I was told in about 1960, by an older Bee family member in NJ, he fathered two daughters, both of whom died in childhood from a disease. His wife was reported to have remarried but had no other children. I don't have any documentation to back this up. I was working on a family tree for school when this information was shared by a family member who was born in the late 1800's. Apparently this is what she was told.

A little stream named after a man called Bull.

That would be Stonewall Jackson.
