Okay, I knew that Civil War battles have different names, northern and southern. Bull Run and Manassas Junction. Antietam, Sharpsburg. Stones River, Murfreesboro.
What I didn't know that there is a pattern. The north names after terrain features, the south after towns or rail connections. H/T Gary Gallagher, University of Virginia.
