The Southern Victory series or Timeline-191 is a series of eleven alternate history novels by author Harry Turtledove, beginning with "How Few Remain" (1997) and published over a decade. The period addressed in the series begins during the Civil War and spans nine decades, up to the mid-1940s. In the series, the Confederate States defeats the United States of America in 1862, thereby making good its attempt at secession and becoming an independent nation. Subsequent books are built on imagining events based on this alternate timeline.
