In the modern South, the two battles of Bull Run are called the First and Second Manassas. Also what Northerners call the battle of Antietam, the Southerners call the Battle of Sharpsburg, after the nearest city in Maryland where it was fought. Antietam is the name of a shallow stream that flows across the farmland of the battlefield. The Union army struggled to cross a narrow bridge across this creek. The Confederates to the north strove to stop them. Robt. E. Lee had left Gen. A. P. Hill to hold Harper's Ferry to the east. In his need, as the Union army crossed the bridge, Lee sent a message, "Tell A.P. Hill that he must come up!" A.P. Hill arrived and drove the Union army back from the opposite bank.

you want to tell apart between the "Civil conflict" and the "conflict of Bull Run." Neither area called the Civil conflict - Bull Run or Manassas. The conflict that occurred close to the city of Manassas went by ability of diverse names relying on what area you've been on. The North called the Civil conflict, "The Civil conflict." The South observed it as "the conflict between the States or the conflict of the Secession."
