At the battle of bull run the Union army lost to the Confederate Army.

Explanation:

On both occasions of the fight at Bull Run, the larger Union army was routed by the Confederate Army due to poor leadership management. This would lead to the replacement of many Union generals in the beginning of the year, and end with the eventual permanent replacement with Ulysses S. Grant.

it's a secular holiday. it is and was a custom developed to recognize the ending of a time and a wish for a good future. the kind of kiss you exchange, if you are single, is intended to predict what kind of year you will have in the coming year.

it is saying good bye to the last year with all its ups and downs, and hello to the new year, with all its hopes and dreams.
