The South named major battles by nearby roads, towns, or railroad junctions, as these were novelties in their agricultural society. This is as opposed to the Northern method of naming battles after nearby rivers or natural landmarks, because many of them came from cities. A good example of this is Manassas, a railroad junction where two battles took place. The South named the battles after the junction, but the North called them Bull Run, after a nearby creek.
