Line of the South

The Line of the South was a proposed boundary idea during the American Civil War, suggesting a solid front for the Confederacy. It aimed to outline the southern states' borders, particularly in the western territories, to strengthen their claim to those areas. Essentially, it was a strategic concept to unify and consolidate Confederate-held land, asserting their independence and territorial control against the Union. While not officially implemented as a singular line, it represented the Confederacy's vision of a cohesive and defensible southern territory.
