The battle was a fierce and scary one. The Union put up a good fight at first, but the Confederates broke the Unions right flank. The Union soliders rushed to retreat towards Washington. This victory gave the South a spark of confidence and scared the North. After this battle, Abraham Lincoln knew that it would not be an easy win. -Ghassane Zyati
