A score is a group of twenty.
Today's Question:
Indicate whether this Civil War battle was a victory for the Union or the Confederacy, and the state where the battle took place: First Battle of Bull Run (Manassas).
By the way, yesterday was the 150th anniversary of the battle.
I did not know the state by the name of the battle but know from my trips back and forth from North Carolina to New York that Manassas is in Virginia. I believe the battle was a Confederate victory (as a guess) because there were two battles there and I am pretty sure it took the North a while to "win" that state.
