<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 540837, member: 66&quot;]A similar event happened during the first battle of Bull Run during the US Civil War. the Gentel and common folks came down from Washington DC bringing picnic lunches and setting themselves out on the hillsides to watch the Union troops give the rebels the thrashing they deserved and settle this matter once and for all.&nbsp; When the Confederate forces soundly beat the Union forces and forced them to retreat all the citizens tried to flee back to the city clogging the roads and preventing the army from making an orderly retreat, instead turning it into a rout.&nbsp; If instead of stopping to celebrate their victory in the battle, the Confederacy had reformed and marched north they probably would have been able to capture much of the union forces and the city of Washington DC.&nbsp; The Confederacy might have been able to settle the matter once and for all themselves with the Union suing for peace.&nbsp; They just failed to press their advantage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
