Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The Battle of Bull Run was one of the first battles in the Civil War. It took place near Manassas, Virginia, and it was a Confederate victory.

Rose O'Neal Greenhow was a famous Confederate spy. She was part of the government and she overheard a Senator saying that the Union wanted to attack near that spot in Virginia. She wrote a letter to the Confederates warning them and had another woman deliver it to them, helping them be prepared and win.

Stonewall Jackson was a Confederate general at this battle, and he rushed his troops forward, countering the Union's battle strategy, and he stood still like a stone wall, giving him the nickname Stonewall Jackson.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!
