The North and the South sometime like to refer to them by different criteria.

Bull Run (a small stream) was the site of the first battle of the war. The South called it Manassas after the nearest town.

In the same way, the South refers to the Battle of Sharpsburg, the nearest town to Antietam Creek, where that battle was fought. The North calls it Antietam.

Ditto, Murfreesboro (Stones River).

The Northern style has become accepted as the official version. It is in the character of the South that it likes to stick to its own versions as a sort of protest. On one level, they're still fighting the Civil War.
