There was great wealth in the South, but it was primarily tied up in the slave economy.

An isolationist policy partially protected the new vulnerable nation as well as allowing the nation to maintain a small military.
The US was physically vulnerable following the Revolutionary War and it they were to be tangled up with a European nation in an alliance that led to war then they could lose land or even their newly formed independence. The geographic location of the US made it easier to protect the new nation and support the idea of isolation from European affairs. George Washington urged in his Farewell Address to avoid alliances with foreign powers. The military could also remain small if the US had no reason to enter into war. This was supported by the Democratic-Republicans who were fearful of a powerful federal government. Keeping the military small meant that the federal government was less likely to use it against the citizens of the country.
<span>The First Battle of Bull Run, also called as Battle of Manassas, took place in 1861, in between the Union Army and the Confederate troops.
By the end of the battle, although they had won, the Confederate troops were highly disorganized and exhausted. If they continued to attack, they would have suffered high losses.
Both the parties had underestimated each other and the Confederate army thought that a victory at the battlefield would be enough reason for the North to give up and form Confederate States of America.
Although, the Confederate commanders did want to continue the battle, they were over-ruled by the higher authorities.
