The battle associated with the "Great Skedaddle" is the First Battle of Bull Run, which occurred on July 21, 1861. This battle resulted in a Confederate victory, forcing Union troops to retreat in chaos back to Washington, D.C. The outcome demonstrated that the Civil War would be a long and difficult conflict, contrary to initial expectations of a quick resolution.
