Explanation:
The First Battle of Bull Run, also known as the Battle of Manassas, marked the first major land battle of the American Civil War. On July 21, 1861, Union and Confederate armies clashed near Manassas Junction, Virginia. The engagement began when about 35,000 Union troops marched from the federal capital in Washington, D.C. to strike a Confederate force of 20,000 along a small river known as Bull Run. After fighting on the defensive for most of the day, the rebels rallied and were able to break the Union right flank, sending the Federals into a chaotic retreat towards Washington. The Confederate victory gave the South a surge of confidence and shocked many in the North, who realized the war would not be won as easily as they had hoped.
Prelude to the First Battle of Bull Run
By July 1861, two months after Confederate troops opened fire on Fort Sumter to begin the Civil War, the northern press and public were eager for the Union Army to make an advance on Richmond ahead of the planned meeting of the Confederate Congress there on July 20. Encouraged by early victories by Union troops in western Virginia and by the war fever spreading through the North, President Abraham Lincoln ordered Brigadier General Irvin McDowell to mount an offensive that would hit quickly and decisively at the enemy and open the way to Richmond, thus bringing the war to a mercifully quick end. The offensive would begin with an attack on more than 20,000 Confederate troops under the command of General P.G.T. Beauregard camped near Manassas Junction, Virginia (25 miles from Washington, D.C.) along a little river known as Bull Run.
The cautious McDowell, then in command of the 35,000 Union volunteer troops gathered in the Federal capital, knew that his men were ill-prepared and pushed for a postponement of the advance to give him time for additional training. But Lincoln ordered him to begin the offensive nonetheless, reasoning (correctly) that the rebel army was made up of similarly amateur soldiers. McDowell’s army began moving out of Washington on July 16; its slow movement allowed Beauregard (who also received advance notice of his enemy’s movements through a Confederate espionage network in Washington) to call on his fellow Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston for reinforcements. Johnston, in command of some 11,000 rebels in the Shenandoah Valley, was able to outmaneuver a Union force in the region and march his men towards Manassas.
Battle Begins at Bull Run
McDowell’s Union force struck on July 21, shelling the enemy across Bull Run while more troops crossed the river at Sudley Ford in an attempt to hit the Confederate left flank. Over two hours, 10,000 Federals gradually pushed back 4,500 rebels across the Warrington turnpike and up Henry House Hill. Reporters, congressmen and other onlookers who had traveled from Washington and were watching the battle from the nearby countryside prematurely celebrated a Union victory, but reinforcements from both Johnston and Beauregard’s armies soon arrived on the battlefield to rally the Confederate troops. In the afternoon, both sides traded attacks and counterattacks near Henry House Hill. On Johnston and Beauregard’s orders, more and more Confederate reinforcements arrived, even as the Federals struggled with coordinating assaults made by different regiments.
The “Rebel Yell” at Bull Run (Manassas)
By four o’clock in the afternoon, both sides had an equal number of men on the field of battle (about 18,000 on each side were engaged at Bull Run), and Beauregard ordered a counterattack along the entire line. Screaming as they advanced (the “rebel yell” that would become infamous among Union troops) the Confederates managed to break the Union line. As McDowell’s Federals retreated chaotically across Bull Run, they ran headlong into hundreds of Washington civilians who had been watching the battle while picnicking on the fields east of the river, now making their own hasty retreat.
Among the future leaders on both sides who fought at First Manassas were Ambrose E. Burnside and William T. Sherman (for the Union) along with Confederates like Stuart, Wade Hampton, and most famously, Thomas J. Jackson, who earned his enduring nickname, “Stonewall” Jackson, in the battle. Jackson, a former professor at the Virginia Military Institute, led a Virginia brigade from the Shenandoah Valley into the battle at a key moment, helping the Confederates hold an important high-ground position at Henry House Hill. General Barnard Bee (who was later killed in the battle) told his men to take heart, and to look at Jackson standing there “like a stone wall.”

Reagan (1981-1989), is illustrated in this cartoon?
Trickle-down
War on poverty
Laissez-faire
Pump priming
Hello. You forgot to put the image needed to answer that question.
The figure is attached below.
Answer:
Trickle-down
Explanation:
Trickle-down was an economic policy advocated by President Ronald Reagan, who sought to favor big businessmen by increasing the physical benefits to these companies. This provided a high economic profit for strong entrepreneurs in society.
For Reagan, if big companies were favored and improved their economy, this would reflect across society in different ways. However, many people criticized this policy, saying that the Trickle-down would favor the wealthy in a big way, while the poor and middle class people were in a very weak economic situation and would literally need the "crumbs" of the upper classes.

Was the United States justified in its invasion of Cuba (i.e. the Bay of Pigs)? What U.S. values
or policies do you think motivated this event?
Answer:
The Bay of Pigs invasion, also known as the Girón beach invasion, was a military operation or warlike act in which Cuban exile troops, supported by the US government, invaded Cuba in the years of 1961, to try to form a provisional government. to replace that of Fidel Castro and seek the support of the Organization of American States (in addition to the recognition of the international community). The action ended in failure within a few hours of the attack. It was completely crushed by the militias and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba (FAR) that put a limit to all this by ending it. More than a hundred invading soldiers died, and the Cuban army captured 1,200, along with important war material.
Explanation:
One of the most important causes of all this was that the subsequent agreements with the Soviet Union definitively convinced the United States that the new Cuba was a danger to its global strategy. In the oval office of the White House an invasion of the island began to be plotted, for which the exiles living in Miami would be used as military forces, which in the end would give a vision more of "liberation" than of invasion itself bliss.

Sorry this is more of an analysis
but it uses a lot of personification "Under the smoke, dust all over his mouth, laughing with white teeth,
Under the terrible burden of destiny laughing as a young man laughs," in this part, the young man is the city surviving even after all these hardships.
