A Short War? On a warm July day in 1861, two armies of a divided nation clashed for the first time Their ranks were filled with enthusiastic young volunteers Confident that their foes would run at the first shot, the recruits were thankful that they would not miss the only battle of what surely would be a short war. Soldiers on both sides were stunned by the violence and destruction they encountered. At day's end young men lay lifeless on the fields. Ten hours of heavy fighting swept away any notion the war's outcome would be decided quickly.

Union Takes the Advantage Early on in the battle it seemed as if the Union would win in rather easy fashion.

Thomas Stonewall Jackson “Look, there is Jackson standing like a stone wall!, Rally around the Virginians boys.” General Bernard Bee N.C.

Desperate Fighting: In just five minutes of fighting the 5 th New York Regiment lost 123 men.

Results Confederate Victory This battle convinced both sides that the war would be a long and costly affair.
