During
the first significant land battle of the Civil War, at Big Bethel in Virginia, the Federal's accounted for most of their own casualties (which totaled some 80 personnel) when two of their elements started firing at each other due to mistaken identity. Was this before or after Bull Run? At Bull Run, the Union forces were so overly concerned with fratricide that a Wisconsin Brigade allowed the Union's main artilliary position to be over run by a Confederate Virginia Brigade because they thought it was reinforcements arriving to help hold the hill.
