irvin mcdowell
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 was expected to bring an early end to the confederacy. yielding to political pressure, brig. gen. irvin mcdowell led his unseasoned union army across bull run against the equally inexperienced confederate army of brig. gen. p. g. t. beauregard camped near manassas junction. mcdowell's ambitious plan for a surprise flank attack on the confederate left was poorly executed by his officers and men; nevertheless, the confederates, who had been planning to attack the union left flank, found themselves at an initial disadvantage.
