Reply:I hate doing your homework for you but I don't want you getting confused. The Anaconda Strategy was about taking the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers along with a total blockade of the ports along The Confederacy's Atlantic and Gulf shores. That has nothing to do with Bull Run.


The embarrassing defeat of the Union Army at First Bull Run(aka "First Manassas" to the Southerners) proved that it was going to be a long hard war fought against an enemy that they had underestimated.


It was a wake-up call for the Union similar to what the British saw at Bunker Hill during the American Revolution. In that fight the British thought the rebellion by a bunch of colonial amateurs would be easy to put down.Although the Continental Army lost that battle to the British they caused severe casualties to the British regiments proving that the fights would not be easily won.
