The First Battle of Bull Run was watched by civilians who thought that war was full of glory and splendor. It would be a nice way for them to spend the day in the country. Little did they realize the pageantry of the battle would turn so ugly and end in a rout of the Federal troops. The carnage was shocking though mild when compared to later Butcher's Bills, but was enough to show the people this would not be a pleasant time for the country.
