The outcome of the First Battle of Bull Run

The Confederacy won the First Battle of Bull Run (also called First Manassas) in July 1861. The Union army retreated, discouraging the North, while the victory encouraged the Confederacy. It also showed that the war would not be a quick or easy conflict, so the correct choice is “discouraged the Union and gave the Confederacy confidence.”
