What were some differences in the command structure in of the Union and Confederate armies in the US Civil War?

Until 1864, the Federal government refused to authorize any grade of general higher than then major general. Thus Union armies were commanded by major generals. In the Confederacy, armies were led by "full" generals. By way of definition, an army consisted of a group of corps. This was true for both sides. As an aside, Southern armies were initially named after the territories they were assigned to defend. So General Lee, as an example, commanded the Army of Northern Virginia. In the Union, their armies were usually named after rivers. So again as an example, George B. McClellan led the Army of the Potomac. Later of course US Grant was a Lieutenant General and appointed by Lincoln as the general in chief, in command of the entire Union army.
