What did the north name their armies after?

After their geographic locations: Northern or Southern armies. Or, in the case of the US Civil War, the Northern army would sometimes refer to itself as the "Grand Army" of the Republic. Like the armies of France...the US Army had an affection for anything French. The kepi (cap) and shoulder tabs (rank insignia) on both the Southern and Northern armies were actually copies of the French uniform. GAR (the Grand Army of the Republic) was America's first official nation-wide Veteran's Organization, which died out in the 1930's. The VFW is currently the nation's oldest vet group (founded by Spanish-American War 1898 vets in 1899).
