Tutoring for GCSE science and history provided by experienced tutor.
On the 21st July 1861, the first major land battle of the Civil War occurred. The battle is most commonly know as the battle of Bull Run due to its location along the Bull Run river. 35,000 Union soldiers fought with 20,000 Confederate soldiers. The battle saw victory for the Confederates after attacking the Unions right flank. This battle was significant as it led to the reorganisation of the Union army but more importantly showed that the Civil War would not be over as fast as expected.

Hi Vern,
In July 1861, the first land battle of the Civil War was fought, about 30 miles outside Washington. It was known by Northerners as Bull Run, and was close enough to the capital for Senators to witness the battle. Hope this helps!
