The Southern Victory Series or Timeline-191 are both fan names given to a series of author Harry Turtledove's "alternate history" novels, including How Few Remain as well as the Great War, American Empire, and Settling Accounts groups of historical fiction series. The name is derived from Robert E. Lee's Special Order 191, which detailed the Confederate States' Army of Northern Virginia's invasion of the Union through the border state Maryland, in September 1862, during the American Civil War. The divergence occurs when three common soldiers from Union forces do not find a copy of Special Order 191, wrapped around three cigars, mistakenly left on a former CSA camping ground from the day before near Best's Field, southeast of Frederick, Maryland on September 10, 1862, as they did in actual history and passed it along to their superiors where it went up the chain-of-command to commanding General George B. McClellan of the Army of the Potomac, who was in slow pursuit and trying to ascertain Lee's future movements, and who said "If I can't beat Bobby Lee, knowing all this, than I'm not a general". The subsequent series of novels detail the consequences of this "alternative historical scenario" until World War II in 1944 in the alternate world.

In reality, before the Battle of Antietam, Federal troops accidentally recovered a copy of Special Order 191 (used as wrapping around a number of cigars), which spelled out in detail Lee's plan for the invasion of Maryland. Using this intelligence, Federal forces, under George B. McClellan, moved north and forced the battle at Antietam, ending the invasion.

In this alternate timeline, Lee's orders are recovered by trailing Confederate troops before they were allowed to fall into Union hands. The resulting Confederate advance catches McClellan and the U.S. by surprise. Instead of fighting at Antietam, General Lee forces McClellan into a battle on the banks of the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania and destroys the Army of the Potomac in the Battle of Camp Hill on October 1, 1862.

After the decisive Confederate victory, Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia move eastward to occupy Philadelphia. As a direct result, the Confederate States of America earn diplomatic recognition from the UK and France. Both European nations then force mediation on the United States; this action results in full independence for the Confederate States. In less than two years, the War of Secession had ended.
