第二次馬那薩斯之戰 (Battle of Manassas) :1862830

對約翰‧波普 (John Pope) 少將來說,第二次馬那薩斯之戰是一場與時間賽跑的戰爭。發生在1862830日的這場戰爭,終止了北維吉尼亞地區的一場長期的對抗。這場終止對抗的戰爭顯示出內戰期間長建的戰略與激烈的戰鬥情況。一開始,波普率領的聯邦軍隊想要入侵南方首都李其蒙 (Richmond) ,不過卻被擊敗於城外幾哩之處。聯邦軍隊失敗之後,波普率領的散亂軍隊仍然與「石牆」傑克森 (Stonewall Jackson) 將軍率領的南方軍隊繼續交戰。


For Major General John Pope, the Second Battle of Manassas became a race against time. On August 30, 1862, that battle ended a long campaign in northern Virginia. The events leading up to it show strategies and fierce fighting typical of the Civil War. It started when Pope's Union forces attempted to invade the Southern capital of Richmond and were defeated just miles from the city. After the defeat, Pope's scattered Union troops clashed repeatedly with Southern forces led by Major General "Stonewall" Jackson.
