"On to Richmond!" was the early Northern rallying cry to quickly seize the Confederate capital. The Union defeat at the First Battle of Bull Run (July 21, 1861) shattered that hope: inexperienced Union forces were routed and retreated to Washington, ending expectations of a short war and forcing major reorganization and mobilization for a prolonged conflict.
