The First Battle of Bull Run, also known as the First Battle of Manassas, was the first major battle of the American Civil War, fought on July 21, 1861. Expecting a quick victory, Union forces under Irvin McDowell advanced against Confederate troops led by P. G. T. Beauregard, and reinforced by soldiers under Joseph E. Johnston. After intense fighting, Confederate resistance stiffened around the positions held by Stonewall Jackson, who reportedly stood “like a stone wall,” earning his famous nickname. The Union army eventually retreated in disorder toward Washington, D.C., and the Confederate victory shattered hopes for a short conflict, revealing that the war would be far longer and bloodier than many had anticipated.
