The '''First Battle of Bull Run''' was the first major battle of the [[American Civil War]], taking place on July 21, 1861 near the town of Manassas, Virginia. Called '''First Manassas''' by the South, the battle involving green troops on both sides would turn into a major defeat against the Union army, and lead many to conclude that a war thought to last for a few months would drag on for years.
