第二次馬那薩斯之戰 (Battle
of Manassas) ：1862年8月30日
在8月9日的西德山之戰 (Battle
of Cedar Mountain) 中，傑克森的南方軍隊以2比1的優勢迎戰聯邦軍隊。傑克森輕鬆獲得勝利，並率領軍隊離開戰場。北方聯盟的補給與後援軍隊卻迅速抵達，波普的軍隊又和李將軍的軍隊在拉帕漢諾克河 (Rappahannock
River) 發生戰鬥。同時，傑克森的軍隊正準備繞到波普的後方，阻斷他的補給線。對波普來說，這場時間競賽就是要在李將軍大軍協助傑克森之前，先行將傑克森的軍隊一舉擊潰。
In the August 9 Battle of Cedar Mountain, Jackson's Confederates outnumbered the Union soldiers two-to-one. After an easy victory, Jackson led his men from the battlefield. Union reinforcements arrived, and Pope's men turned to face the troops of General Robert E. Lee along the Rappahannock River. Meanwhile, Jackson's army managed to maneuver around to Pope's rear to cut off his supply lines. The race was on for Pope to find and destroy Jackson before Lee could march his men to Jackson's aid.
