How did the North and South name their battles?
Most battles were named after the town where they were fought. However, many battles during the Civil War were out on open fields and so the names could vary. Generally---and I do mean generally---the Confederates named their battles after a river whereas the Union named them after a town. Here are a few names of battlefields that had alternate names for one reason or another. Manasas -- Bull Run Manasas Gap -- Wapping Heights Shiloh --- Pittsburg Landing Stone's River --- Murfreesboro Champion Hill -- Baker's Creek Wauhatchie -- Brown's Ferry Fort Wagner --- Morris Island (attack by 54th MASS) Brice's Crossroads --- Tishomingo Creek Chickasaw Bayou -- Chickasaw Bluffs -- Walnut Hills Wilson's Creek --- Oak Hills Hatchie’s Bridge -- Davis Bridge -- Matamora Cedar Mountain -- Cedar Run -- Slaughter’s Mountain Drewry’s Bluff -- Fort Drewry -- Fort Darling Winchester(1st) -- Bowers Hill Ball's Bluff -- Harrison’s Landing -- Leesburg Deep Bottom II -- New Market Road or Fussell’s Mill or Bailey’s Creek or Charles City Road or White’s Tavern

Why is north and South Carolina called Carolina?
The original area of Carolina - which is Latin derived and named for King Charles II of England - was all land South of Virgina and North of St. Augustine all the way to the Pacific Ocean. By the early 18th century, around 1720 it was understood by the early colonist that it was too hard to govern the area as one. So everything north of the Cape Fear River was called North Carolina and everything South of the river was called South Carolina
What is the social structure of South Carolina?
New England was settled by community groups, that transplanted their social structure from England. In New England there was a flattening of the social pyramid--land ownership was a reality for most families, and the system of powerful landlords that pervaded English rural life was not carried over. There was no aristocracy. The strong religious base of the Puritans made the social order revolve around the local Congregational church. Education was a high priority; Harvard College was founded in 1637 and provided most of the ministers and lawyers. By 1700 a rich merchant class grew up in Boston, Salem and other seaports, linking the local economy to the entire British Empire. By 1750 land shortages were causing problems, as New Englanders (called Yankees after 1700) began expanding north into Maine and New Hampshire, and west into New York
Middle Colonies
The German settlements in Pennsylvania and adjacent areas were communally oriented with a strong religious base. In contrast to New England Yankees, the Germans placed much less emphasis on education and business. In Pennsylvania the Quakers provided the merchant elite, with an economic stratification that contrasted with their egalitarian religion. In the Dutch areas of upstate New York, especially the Hudson River Valley, patroons acquired vast land holdings and rented the farmlands to tenants. By the early 19th century this caused serious economic and political tensions, and the poltroon system was replaced by individual land ownership. Except for a small number of patroon families, the social structure was relatively level.
Philadelphia and New York became major ports by 1750, with a growing merchant class that dominated politics and the social structure.
South
The main themes have been the class system of the plantation South and the role of slavery. These include the plantation masters and their families, as typified by the Byrd family. The plantation elite in general lived on tight budgets, putting their surpluses into purchase of new lands and slaves. Historians have focused on the tobacco regions of the Chesapeake, with some attention to South Carolina as well. The region had very few urban places apart from Charleston, where a merchant elite maintained close connections with nearby plantation society. It was a goal of prosperous merchants, lawyers and doctors in Charleston to buy lands and retire as a country gentlemen. Charleston supported diverse ethnic groups, including Germans and French, as well as a free black population. Beyond the plantations yeoman farmers operated small holdings, sometimes with a slave or two. Missionaries commented on their lack of religiosity. The plantation areas of Virginia were integrated into the vestry system of the established Anglican church. By the 1760s a strong tendency to emulate British society was apparent in the plantation regions. However the strength of republicanism created a political ethos that resisted imperial taxation without local consent.
