The First Battle of Bull Run (First Manassas) — July 21, 1861, near Manassas, Virginia — was the first major land battle of the American Civil War. Inexperienced Union forces under Brig. Gen. Irvin McDowell attacked Confederates led by Generals P.G.T. Beauregard and Joseph E. Johnston; after fierce fighting the Confederates counterattacked and routed the Union army. The Confederates won, the Union retreated to Washington, and the battle shattered hopes of a short war; roughly 4,600–5,000 soldiers were killed, wounded, or missing.
