Earlier today there was a bloody battle
Fought near Bull Run, a small stream
About thirty miles southwest of Washington
D.C. This battle marked the second battle
Of Bull Run. This war was brought about due
To the North?s failure to capture Richmond.
Now the North planned to unite the armies of
McClellan and Pope, to ambush the city. This
Plan failed however because Pope?s army was held
Back by Robert E. Lee of the Confederates. To
Make matters worse then Stonewall Jackson
Stumbled upon Pope from the opposite side. Now
Pope?s Army had no choice but to face Jackson?s
Army , with Bull Run to their rear. This battle
On for two days. The outcome was Pope retreated
North, the when joined by McClellan, and then
Went back to Washington. After they had retreated Lee went on to invade Maryland. The
Ending result was a some confidence
Was very right, because it gave us Confederates the confidence we need, to get through this Civil War
And come out on top. Before we were really down, because the North has all the advantages, and
We are kind of the underdogs. We have brains though, and that?s what keeps us going. Also we are
Being led by one on the best Generals there is Robert. E. Lee, so we have a chance!! This battle was
a good step towards the war, now we are ready for anything. As a result of this battle the North are
Most likely going to think twice before they come down here and try to manhandle us. Which works
Out for us, because now we showed them we can fight, and that we are a challenge to them. So now
We can strategically plan what to do next, and make our armies stronger. So when the north does
Make the mistake of coming down here again to fight, we will be ready, and we will prevail, and we
We will come out on top, when everything is said and done , and the smoke has cleared , The
Confederates will be victorious!!!!
