The south called battles after the nearest town, such as Manassas, or Sharpsburg. The Union called the identical battles after the nearest body of water, such as Bull Run (a "run" is a creek in that part of Virginia), or Antietam (Creek). The Union also named its armies after rivers (Potomac, Ohio, Cumberland, James, Tennessee) and the Rebels named theirs after land areas (Northern Virginia).
