History of the BULL RUN 1861 Battle Streamer
The decision by Lincoln to launch an attack resulted in the Bull Run Campaign, also known to the Confederacy as the First Manassas Campaign, in July 1861. McDowell led approximately 35,000 troops from Washington to Centreville, Va., while Johnston adroitly slipped away from Patterson, reinforcing Beauregard's army near Manassas. The ensuing battle on July 21 saw initial success for the Union forces, but a Confederate counterattack led by Stonewall Jackson turned the tide, resulting in a Union retreat. Casualties on both sides were significant, with the battle highlighting the need for uniformity in attire. This defeat spurred the North to greater effort, while the South, overconfident, relaxed. The remainder of 1861 saw preparations for a hard war, with key personnel changes and few significant military actions until the capture of Fort Hatteras and Clark, N.C., Port Royal, S.C., and a battle at Wilson's Creek, Mo., in August.
