This historical map image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}. It is recommended to name the SVG file “Map of CSA 4.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

Historic Southern United States. The Confederate States have historically been regarded as forming "the South". States shown in light red are considered "border states", and gave varying degrees of support to the Southern cause although they remained in the Union. (This image depicts the original, trans-Allegheny borders of Virginia, and so does not show West Virginia separately. See the images above for post-1863 Virginia and West Virginia borders.) Although much of Indian Territory was aligned with the Confederacy, it had not yet been introduced into the Union as the state of Oklahoma. Drawn by Nicholas F Source en:wikipedia
