第二次马那萨斯之战 (Battle of Manassas) ：1862年8月30日

对约翰．波普 (John Pope) 少将来说，第二次马那萨斯之战是一场与时间赛跑的战争。发生在1862年8月30日的这场战争，终止了北维吉尼亚地区的一场长期的对抗。这场终止对抗的战争显示出内战期间长建的战略与激烈的战斗情况。一开始，波普率领的联邦军队想要入侵南方首都李其蒙 (Richmond) ，不过却被击败于城外几哩之处。联邦军队失败之后，波普率领的散乱军队仍然与「石墙」杰克森 (Stonewall Jackson) 将军率领的南方军队继续交战。


For Major General John Pope, the Second Battle of Manassas became a race against time. On August 30, 1862, that battle ended a long campaign in northern Virginia. The events leading up to it show strategies and fierce fighting typical of the Civil War. It started when Pope's Union forces attempted to invade the Southern capital of Richmond and were defeated just miles from the city. After the defeat, Pope's scattered Union troops clashed repeatedly with Southern forces led by Major General "Stonewall" Jackson.
