Short answer: A rout is a disorderly, panicked retreat. At the First Battle of Bull Run (July 21, 1861) Union troops collapsed into a rout and fled toward Washington after Confederate reinforcements (notably Stonewall Jackson’s stand) counterattacked, turning an orderly withdrawal into a chaotic retreat.
