First Battle Of Civil War

I think that the battle of bull run shouldn't have been considered entertainment. The fact that people came to watch it and have a picnic, just encouraged the fighting even more. It's people like this that get in the way of what's truly important, finding a truce and compromise. I guess they somewhat got what they deserve when they got run over by troops. Also, with all the attention on the fighting, when the soldiers took four days (or something) to march 25 miles, it just took away hope from the people because it looked as though they were a pathetic army, which they kind of were, keeping in mind that they hardly trained prior to the battle.
