Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: There were more than three major battles of the war!. Here are some of the major battles of the war: First Bull Run (aka First Manasas): July 21, 1861 near Manassas Junction, Virginia!. Union name Bull Run due to Bull Run Creek, a major physical feature of the battlefield!. Confederate name Manassas due to the nearnest to the town of Manassas Junction!. Shiloh (aka Pittburg Landing): April 6-7, 1862, near Shiloh Tennessee!. Union name Pittsburg Landing for the boat landing on the Tennessee Rivier!. Confederate name Shiloh for the most prominent structure on the battlefield, Shiloh Church!. Antietam (aka Sharpsburg): September 17, 1862 at Sharpsburg, Maryland!.
