Why did Union troops open fire on the Henry House?

Sagot :

Answer:

The Confederates formed a defensive line on the house

Explanation:

This happened during the First Battle of Bull Run. At that time, Brig. Gen Thomas Jackson of Virginia ordered his soldiers to take over Henry's house and  form a formation there.  (Henry was a Navy surgeon for the Union at that time)

After forming the defensive line, Jackson ordered his sharpshooters to start firing toward the Union Soldiers. Because of this, the Union Soldiers were forced to retaliate by opening fire to Henry's house.
