Battle of Big Bethel
The Battle of Big Bethel, also known as the Battle of Bethel Church or Great Bethel, took place on June 10, 1861, in Tabb and Hampton, Virginia, as part of the blockade of Chesapeake Bay during the American Civil War. It was arguably the first Civil War land battle in the Eastern Theater, and the first organized land battle of the entire war.
