-The Union Commander was General Irvin McDowell.

-The Confederate commander was General P. G. T. Beauregard.

-It began when the 30,000 Union Troops attacked a smaller amount of equally inexperienced Confederate Troops.

-The Yankees drove the Confederates back at first, but then the Rebels rallied.

-They were inspired by reinforcements under General Thomas Jackson.

-Jackson was seen holding out heroically "like a stone wall", therefore getting the nickname "Stonewall" Jackson.

-The Confederates counterattacked very savagely with a strange, unnatural scream that came to be known as the "rebel yell".

-The Union began to retreat orderly but it became a mad dash for D.C. when they ran into civilians in the area.

-The important thing about this battle is that the Union realizeed that the war would be a long , difficult, struggle.

-The Confederates called this the battle of Manassas because it was near a town called Manassas Junction.

-The Confederates thougt this would be the end of the war.

-It happened July 21, 1861.
