Most of the Union troops were forced to retreat in defeat.

The Second Battle of Bull Run, fought in 1862, was a total victory for the Confederate Army under command of Gen. Robert E. Lee, despite heavy losses. He managed to accomplish a strategic, successful offensive against an army twice the size of his own army, and left the enemy with a very low morale and in retreat.
