150th Battle Of Bull Run Reenactment - Manassas, Virginia Commemorating the 150th Anniversary of the American Civil War 2011-2015
Also see: PrinceWilliamCo...
The First Battle of Bull Run, also known as the First Battle of Manassas (the name used by Confederate forces), was fought on July 21, 1861, in Prince William County, Virginia, near the City of Manassas. It was the first major land battle of the American Civil War.
Just months after the start of the war at Fort Sumter, the Northern public clamored for a march against the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia, which could bring an early end to the war. Yielding to this political pressure, unseasoned Union Army troops under Brig. Gen. Irvin McDowell advanced across Bull Run against the equally unseasoned Confederate Army under Brig. Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard near Manassas Junction. McDowell's ambitious plan for a surprise flank attack against the Confederate left was not well executed by his inexperienced officers and men, but the Confederates, who had been planning to attack the Union left flank, found themselves at an initial disadvantage.
Confederate reinforcements under the command of Brig. Gen. Joseph E. Johnston arrived from the Shenandoah Valley by railroad and the course of the battle changed. A brigade of Virginians under a relatively unknown colonel from the Virginia Military Institute, Thomas J. Jackson, stood their ground and Jackson received his famous nickname, "Stonewall Jackson". The Confederates launched a strong counterattack and as the Union troops began withdrawing under pressure, many panicked and it turned into a rout as they frantically ran in the direction of nearby Washington, D.C. Both sides were sobered by the violence and casualties of the battle, and they realized that the war would potentially be much longer and bloodier than they had originally anticipated.

Thank heavens for wonderful reenactors. The past is the only tangible time we have. The present is infinitesimally small and the future is just hopes and dreams. These reenactments portray the most profound and important events in history. Noblest art.

Two things you never really hear about are the smell and powder burns. I always come home from these covered in black powder, bright red-faced, and with a lingering taste in my mouth. And I love every second of it. Second Florida Volunteer Infantry under Capt. Clay Kearney.

I know what you mean. I eat more powder then I shoot..lol but It is fun. Minus cleaning a musket. I fire a flint lock brown bess

[@MrReded69]

I bet one of the main reasons the 1st Bullrun/Manassas is such a popular re-enactment is because of the incredible colorful variety in uniforms worn by both sides. Like the red and blue Indian Trade shirts worn by the Minnesota Volunteers or the pseudo-Minute Man outfits worn by some of Jackson's brigade.

These guys appear too calm. In real life the soldiers had a lot more "fire" in them. And were yelling, spittin' and loading as fast as they could. As they knew they could be shot/killed at any moment!

[@ThatIrishLass]

There's a difference between 'calm' and 'professional'/'composed'. Guarantee you, speaking as a veteran reenactor, that every man(and woman!) on that field has their dander up. You've got your mind on too much--marching, making sure you hear all commands, loading, firing, ducking, etc.--to really let any of that emotion show on your face. And remember that these guys are marching in as much as fifty pounds of kit and wool, often for hours on end, and when you've been our there a while, the only things on your face are powder, hair, and exhaustion.

[@OlgaLevin]

The Learned Soldier That and there’s also a reason why it’s called a re-enactment. With the guys clashing on horses, you have to think about the psychological and physical well-being of the animal on top of personal safety and that you don’t accidentally injure in any way, other re-enactors.

I don't dis-acknowledge the tariffs, however you shouldn't ignore that slavery was a major reason for secession.Slavery still had a potential of lasting for a long time. I would think Slavery and the tariffs were both important factors. Though in the document I mentioned earlier, the tariffs were never mentioned for a reason for succession. Multiple other Ordinances mention slavery, and not tariffs. Unless I misread one, none of them mention tariffs. Of course if I'm wrong, please prove me so.

Hard to justify that, actually. Many people claim it was about states rights, but the only right that the South desired was the right to own slaves. Yes, many Southerners at the earliest stage felt a sort of state-based nationalism, but after the early battles, maybe the first winter, when supplies started running low, it just became poor men fighting a rich man's war. And there are Southern men who said just that.

[@agracier]

But, how do I decide between the Union or the Confederates: pls help :( ____________________________________________________________ Seems the moral choice is rather clear cut when you bring slavery into the equation. Re-enactments are colorful and picturesque and great fun for those involved, but there just never seem to be anyone playing the part of slaves around in these modern recreations. So there is an important element missing.

[@agracier]

***** So why not have someone play the role of slaves? Some well-off officers took them along as body servants, the southern belles one often sees in the re-enactments are never accompanied by any of their slaves either. So while it's all great fun to watch and participate in, an important historical element is missing in these re-enactments and I'm going to guess it is partly deliberate, as if it would be in bad taste to recreate historical situations as correctly as possible. But it's probably just as much an unconscious general attitude, one that has erased all open mention and reference to slavery when it comes to Southern attitudes.

[@Thethinker225]

agracier Uhhhh I don't know how bout next time you plan to go to an event see how many of your black friends want to play slaves..... (¬_¬)

[@DarkFilmDirector]

agracier Slaves costed money to train for a job, feed, cloth, and provide shelter. Plus you needed a hefty down payment. 1860 census records state that anywhere from 17 - 23% of the southern population were slave owners. It differed from state to state. Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia had the highest percentage. To make the case that the other 77 - 82% of the population fought a war so that some rich planter could keep his cheap workers is erroneous. It's more or less an attempt by the winners of the war to justify their case for the prevention of secession for the same reason we try to justify the Indian Wars and the expansion of federal territory at the expense of smaller nations. Whilest the pro-slavery politicians controlled most of the legislature (as the economy of many of these southern states was highly dependent on cotton exports to Europe), the upper echelons of the Confederate army were neutral at best over the issue of slavery. Some of the most prominent Confederate generals such as Thomas 'Stonewall' Jackson, Patrick Cleburne, Joseph E. Johnston, Richard S. Ewell, James Longstreet, and even Robert E. Lee were all politically opposed to slavery. By 1864, the Confederate army had started petitioning to the Confederate government that slavery should be gradually phased out and replaced with tenant workers and that black soldiers, having already served to limited extent in the Confederate army, be trained, armed, and granted their freedom to serve. They rightfully saw that the Union had started using the issue of abolition as a just cause for the war after Lincoln's Gettysburg Address (the Union did NOT begin the war for abolition, but rather to prevent secession was the original main goal). The black soldiers that did serve in the Confederate Army surprisingly were paid EQUAL to that of white men. However, in the Union, black soldiers were paid substantially less than white soldiers. Almost half of the freemen population of blacks in the US lived in the South, even prior to the Civil War. Measures were later added to the Confederate Constitution that banned the slave trade and allowed states the authority to free slaves within their own state lines. The main issue here was that the southern states wanted to retain the states individual powers with a slightly weaker central government. Apparently, the people in the south felt winning the war and achieving independence was more important than keeping their slaves.

[@charlestemm4870]

Southern troops were not that poorly equipped as legend portrays them. The various state and Confederate governments made enormous efforts to feed and equip their men. They may not have the as much as the Federal troops but they were not lacking until the rails started breaking down and the western Federals armies overran large parts of the South. As the Federal armies advanced into the South, especially Georgia and the Carolinas, they seized huge quantities of clothing and shoes. By War's end, many of Sherman's boys were shod in Confederate shoes and wearing various issued items courtesy of those overrun depots and warehouses. You should also realize this event portrays the early part of the War when both sides were wearing all sorts of newly issued and purchased gear/clothing. It hasn't has time to wear. See events of the latter war and you'll see worn and see bleached clothing esp on the campaigner reenactors

[@billyreb8042]

Wesley Hay The CSA was able to provide for its troops very well. Furthermore, this is the first major engagement of the war. Most of the troops present for duty had not been in the service for more than a couple months, and definitely not seen much hard fighting.
