The Battle of Bull Run Skit



*Huge booming of cannons going across the battlefield at Bull Run*

Drummer Boy: Hurry up, we must keep moving!
John: *gasping for air* I am trying, but this is much more difficult then you think when all you do is hit that drum all day.
Union Soldier 1: *annoyed* John, this is no time to be arguing about a stupid drum, this drummer boy is very important and we must follow those beats.
Union Soldier 2: Can you guys move faster? We have no time to spare, we must go into this battle and I want to finish this up!
John: Never mind this nonsense, continue forward!

*The small group of Union soldiers follow the drummer boy as he makes some beats*

Confederate Soldier 1: Quickly and lets get this over with, this shouldn't be a problem!
Confederate Soldier 2: Those Yankee folks are the worst army ever, we can probably over run them in an instant!

*The Confederate's travel closer to the battlefield*

Union General: Over there John, a huge army of Confederates, lets cease them from coming any further!
John: Should we begin firing?
Union Soldier 1: I am not waiting, lets move out! *The small group follows the soldier as they all get bombarded with cannons*

*Screams of pain from the soldiers ahead*

Union General: Stupid fools never listen, come on John, lets meet up with the second quadrant and also find Clara.

*The General and John goes back to the campsite and finds the second group also meeting up with Clara Barton*

Clara Barton: *Tired* Can I help you?
Union General: Hello Clara, sorry to bother you but, my quadrant disobeyed orders and was attacked unexpectedly by the Confederates.
Clara: Well I will try to tend to them, where are they?
Union General: They are at Bull Run, it is kind of dangerous to go, don't you think?
Clara: I am shocked at what you are saying general! Union soldiers must have courage if they want to abolish slavery! That is why I must go out there, even if its dangerous or not, I must help those Yankees!

*Clara Barton takes other nurses with her and rides away on a wagon pulled by a horse toward Bull Run*

Confederate Soldier 2: We are losing men by the minute, call for more help!
Confederate General: *Disappointed* I will send someone to bring back more men.

*Bombs exploded everywhere, gun fires went in all directions, confused soldiers shot allies, and the whole floor was covered with dead soldiers in blue, gray, and colorful uniforms*

Union General: Let us go back, we got more people now!
John: Come on everyone!
Union Soldier 3: We will annihilate those Southerners!

*The new quadrant runs back toward the deadly battlefield as the sun begins to set*

Confederate Soldier Group: We have arrived to win back those runaway slaves that were ours!
Confederate General: Let us all win this battle and go home!

*A huge, new, active army of Confederates charges and fires at shocked Union soldiers*

Union General: Fall back, fall back, retreat!!!
Union Soldier 1 : Ahhhhhh run for your lives, there are too many of them!

*Union army flees, but some were shot on they way back*

Confederate General: Victory goes to the Superior South!
