First Battle of Bull Run - Aftermath: In the fighting at Bull Run, Union forces lost 460 killed, 1,124 wounded, and 1,312 captured/missing, while the Confederates incurred 387 killed, 1,582 wounded, and 13 missing.

Wilmer McLeanâs farm in Manassas Junction, Virginia, was the location of the first battle of Bull Run in 1861. The Confederates won the first battle of Bull Run due in large part to General âStonewallâ Jackson holding his ground like a âstone wall,â resulting in his nickname. With momentum on their side, Confederate troops could have pursued the fleeing and exhausted Union army 20 miles to Washington and won the war.
