did William Sherman win the first battle of Bull Run??????????????

Since Sherman was a Union general, and the Confederates won the 1st battle of Bull Run, the answer must be no. The Commanding General of the Union forces was McDowell.

Answer 2

NO

Sherman, William Tecumseh 1820–1891.

American Union general. Appointed commander of all Union troops in the West (1864), he captured Atlanta (1864) and led a destructive March to the Sea, which effectively cut the Confederacy in two.


Sherman fought at the First Battle of Bull Run, Virginia, in which Union troops were beaten badly by the Confederate Army. Sent to Kentucky to command troops there, he did poorly. His numerous requests for reinforcements and his generally nervous behavior caused some newspapers to describe him as insane. But with the support of a new commander, Ulysses S. Grant, Sherman found confidence.

Answer 3

Sherman was in neither battles of bull run which both was won by the south. First battle Unseasoned Union Army troops under Brigadier General Irvin McDowell advanced against the Confederate Army under Brig. Gens. Joseph E. Johnston and P.G.T. Beauregard at Manassas, Virginia, and despite early successes, were routed and forced to retreat back to Washington, D.C. Second battle was the culmination of an offensive campaign waged by Confederate General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia against Union Major General John Pope's Army of Virginia, and a battle of much larger scale and numbers than the First Battle of Bull Run. The result of the battle was an overwhelming Confederate victory, but the Union army was left largely intact in comparison to Irvin McDowell's army after the First Battle of Bull Run/Manassas......Flo

Answer 4

No.

He was there, but not in command of the Union side - nor did the Union win that battle. (It's also referred to by Southerners as the Battle of Manssas.)
