**McDowell focussed on maneuvering brigades instead of concentrating on the entire army.** 

This picture shows the movement of both the Union and the Confederate armies.   McDowell positioned Johnston near the Shenandoah Valley to keep Patterson and his troops under control. When it looked like the Union had won the battle, Johnston surprised them by standing his ground while the rest of the Confederate troops were falling back. He led his troops in for one last attack, and the Confederate army won the battle.  This picture shows the movement of the Union, as well as the locations of both the Union and Confederate forces.
