Because thats what they were called in the period. You had the Northern States which were the Union...and the Southern states were the confederates. Wasnt called the United States during this time considering there was civil war. Lincoln didnt give ...State of the united states speech...he gave State of the Union speech.
Well the "Union" WAS the United States, and the South was known as The Confederate States of America, the north was still the United States of America, the term "Union" was used to avoid confusion when you said "America".
looks like the recreation of Manassas, very nice.
