hm. I spent my early childhood in Manassas, just down the road from Bull Run. Many Southerners call the 1st Battle of Bull Run, 1st Manassas. I'm kind of surprised they didn't give that to him, and kind of curious if he had said "1st Battle of Manassas" instead of "The Manassas" if they would have taken that.

The answer specifically refers to the river instead of the nearby town. So Bull Run was the most correct answer. When he said "The Manassas" he was confusing the river with the town and the question was referring to the battle. If he would have said "1st Battle of Manassas" I think they might have given it to him. Can't help it that he's a Yankee.

I don't know if this is exactly how the question was asked, but in 2018, Panic! At The Disco wasn't a band. In fact, it hadn't been a band since 2016, when Death Of A Bachelor came out. Sorry, just a Panic! fan lol.
