Answer:

C). the union forces became discouraged because they had hoped for a short war.

Explanation:

First Battle of Bull Run was the first major land battle of the Civil War in the United States, held on July 21, 1861 near Manassas (Virginia). The federal army, under the command of General Irwin MacDowell, attacked the Confederate army under the command of Generals Johnston and Beauregard, but was stopped and then fled. The federal army aimed to capture the important transport hub - Manassas, and the army of Beauregard took up defense at the turn of the small Bull Run River. Federal Commander-in-Chief Irwin MacDowell spent two days for reconnaissance, and during this time, army under the command of Johnston came to the aid of Beauregard.

On July 21, McDowell sent three divisions to bypass the left flank of the enemy; they succeeded in attacking and dropping several Confederate brigades, after which McDowell suspended the offensive. A few hours later he sent forward two artillery batteries and several infantry regiments, but the southerners met them on Henry Hill and repulsed all the attacks. The federal army lost 11 guns in these battles, and, hoping to recapture them, the command sent regiment after regiment into battle until all reserves were exhausted. Meanwhile, fresh brigades of the army of the South approached the battlefield and forced the retreat of the last reserve of the northerners - the Howard brigade. Howard's retreat initiated a general withdrawal of the entire federal army, which turned into an erratic escape. Southerners were able to allocate only a few regiments for the persecution, so they were not able to inflict significant damage on the enemy.

The Battle of Bull Run was the first major battle of the Civil War, after which many in the north finally saw what the war really was. The northerners had to part with the illusions that the war would last for several weeks, and the soldiers of the army of the South felt their strength.

How does Napoleon continue the revolution?
Masteriza [31]

Napoleon continued the French Revolution first by resisting the external threats to the Revolution. Namely Great Britian and other European states who felt threatened by the Revolution and who sought to replace the new government by putting another Bourbon king on the throne. He also continued the Revolution by supporting the government itself. As he gained power he continued the reforms to the government and law that the Rvolution had started, and did so in such a just manner that his model would be used throughout Europe in the future. He also made the French government a meritocracy, where it was one's ability that determined to what rank and position you could rise, rather than the accident of birth.

On the betrayal side, Napoleon's biggest action was in accepting the role of Emperor. He in effect turned back the clock to claim a royal title in a nation that had rejected the idea of royalty. He would also go on to award noble titles to his best and loyalest supporters, as well as placing family members on European thrones in nations he had beaten. He also betrayed the Revolution in his conquests of other nations. This was partially a defensive measure against the intrigues of those nations, and partially an attempt to fulfill his own ambitions to earn the title he had bestowed on himself. But in doing so he condemned a generation of Frenchmen and youth to a life of constant warfare, left the economy of France hanging precariously in the balance as it tried to support his war needs and fight Brithish embargoes, and bled all of Europe of men.

Most likely Machiavelli would approve of Napoleon. Napoleon had ambition, nerve, ability, and a willingness to do what must be done to gain and maintain his position. Napoleon did so and managed to retain the love and loyalty of most of France's citizens throughout most of his reign.
