Awnser : It proved that a quick victory for the north was impossible

Explanation : The First Battle of Bull Run, also known as the Battle of Manassas, marked the first major land battle of the American Civil War. ... The Confederate victory gave the South a surge of confidence and shocked many in the North, who realized the war would not be won as easily as they had hoped.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

A: how could the south be weak when they won this battle? Don't choose A.

B: The North lost this battle much to their dismay. The South had certain advantages that the North overlooked, one of them being leadership and another a first rate Calvary. B is wrong.

D: Bull run was a battle that lasted just one day. It was not a matter of desire. The battle wasn't long because eventually the South overran part of the North's army. The won much to the surprise of the North who had 30000+ troops to the South's 20000. To summarize, the South's leadership was better able to snatch victory. I wouldn't choose D: if the wording was better, it might be a better choice. I don't think D is the answer.

C: When all is said and done, C is the only possible answer.
