The first option is correct – Union forces staged an attack, but were forced to retreat.
The First Battle of Bull Run also known as the First Battle of Manassas, was fought in 1861 and was the battle which started off the American Civil War.
In this battle, the Union forces (United States Army) took time to position themselves and were poorly prepared. In the meantime, Confederate armies (of the Confederate States of America) arrived from different places by rail, regrouped and fought the Union army, forcing them to retreat.
