Short answer: Early in the battle the Union tried to turn the Confederate left and pushed them from Matthews Hill. Confederate reinforcements — most notably Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson’s brigade, backed by James Longstreet and others — counterattacked and executed flanking moves against the Union position around Henry House Hill, collapsing McDowell’s line and triggering the Union rout.
