Reports and Editorial

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 for the Confederates, and a Victory for the South. This battle

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!!!!
