What two corps did General McClellan not send to reinforce General Pope's troops at Manassas?

Asked by Wiki User

Two corps of the Army of the Potomac were under General McClellan's control at Alexandria. They were General Sumner's Second Corps and General Franklin's Sixth Corps. This totaled 25,000 troops. McClellan saw General Pope as incompetent and did not want to waste good troops to save Pope's hopeless situation. General in Chief Henry W. Halleck ordered McClellan to send these troops to reinforce Pope. McClellan held back these troops as long as possible. McClellan also urged General Pope to not engage the Rebel troops and to retreat to the north.

Was Robert E Lee victorious in the seven day battle and in the second battle of bull run?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I thought that the north won, the south had over 20,000 causalities and the north only had over 15,000, so I think the north won. More important than the number of casulaties are the tactical and/or strategic victories won by Lee's Confederate Army. From a strategic point of view, Lee won the Seven Day Battles by driving Union forces out and away from Richmond, the Confederate capitol, a position that would take the Union almost 2 1/2 years to regain.

What army won the Second US Civil War Battle of Bull Run in 1862?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

General John Pope was selected by Lincoln because he attained command of a new Union Army because of his political connections rather than his military expertise. Pope entered the battle with no plan, but he retreated the Union Army in good order after being bounced by the Confederate Army. In contrast, General McDowell attained command of the Union Army a year earlier because of his military expertise. McDowell entered the First Battle of Bull Run with a very good plan, but he allowed the Union Army fall into a rout after being bounced by the Confederate Army.

Why is it important not to run on the deck of the pool?

You will slip and fall on the wet surface. Decks are generally wet, due to there being a source of water nearby. Running on a wet surface increases the chances of you slipping, and with a water source nearby, you could slip, fall, and end up drowning in the water.

Where was General Pope sent after the Second Battle of Bull Run?

Asked by Wiki User

Although Second Bull Run was not a humiliating rout as First Bull Run had been for McDowell, it was still a Union loss. Pope was relieved of command and sent to Minnesota. He served creditably as a general for the rest of the war and after.

How did General Pope manage to convince himself that Jackson's forces advancing on his flank were in fact retreating at the Second Battle of Manassas?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Lee had split his forces, and Pope hoped to get between Lee and Jackson and destroy them piecemeal. But Jackson was too quick for him. He chased Jackson all over northern Virginia, with Jackson always "retreating" and being gone when Pope got there. But then Jackson was ready to occupy Pope while Lee closed in, and so he advanced. Pope had no clue that anything had changed until he found himself engaged. Overconfidence and wishful thinking may have played a part, too, as it did with General Hooker at Chancellorsville.

Jackson made his stand behind an old railroad cut, where he held Pope off until Longstreet's corps stole up on his flank, who hit Pope like a thunderbolt, rolling his forces up.

First Bull Run - Joseph E. Johnston, who conceded some authority to P.G.T. Beauregard on account of the latter's familiarity with the terrain.

Second Bull Run - Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.

What happened during the second bull run?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Lee felt he had to move fast, before Pope and McClellan could unite their armies. So he divided his force, sending Jackson on a long hike to capture the Union supplies, while Lee himself attacked Pope, who was completely wrong-footed, and his army routed.

What US Civil War general was responsible for starting the Second Battle of Bull Run?

User Avatar

Asked by ChuckSiata

After raiding Union General John Pope's supply depot and cutting his telegraph lines, Stonewall Jackson's actual position was unknown to General Pope. Stonewall Jackson alerted Pope to his raiding party's position by assaulting one of Pope's passing columns. The following day, Pope had correctly identified Jackson's position and initiated what would be the Second Battle of Bull Run.
