The First Battle of Bull Run is known as the first true battle of the American Civil War. It occurred on July 21, 1861, just 30 miles outside of Washington, D.C., and resulted in nearly 5,000 casualties.
Wilmer McLeanâs farm in Manassas Junction, Virginia, was the location of the first battle of Bull Run in 1861. The Confederates won the first battle of Bull Run due in large part to General âStonewallâ Jackson holding his ground like a âstone wall,â resulting in his nickname. With momentum on their side, Confederate troops could have pursued the fleeing and exhausted Union army 20 miles to Washington and won the war.
