Bull Run, the first major battle of the Civil War, was fought on July 21, 1861. There was a general desire of the Union Army to advance south to Richmond and engage the Confederacy in battle. The Union underestimated the south by believing that they would crumble after their first defeat. The inexperienced Union troops found the battlefield too much, and the Southern army took the time to establish lines and consolidate positions. General Sherman had found an unguarded Ford at Bull Run, which he crossed and engaged the Confederacy in battle. The Confederates refused to retreat. Later in the afternoon, the Confederacy captured some Union artillery. The Union army retreated in disarray.
