Maps of the Confederacy

I used to have a web page where I had U.S. maps of various types which basically showed imprints of the Confederacy on the geography of the U.S.

Here is a map of the Confederacy.

The old Confederate Veteran magazine of the late 19th and early 20th century, and the official publication of the United Confederate Veterans, Sons of Confederate Veterans, United Daughters of the Confederacy, and the Confederated Southern Memorial Associations didn't defend lynching directly, but opposed criticism of the South for lynching so this map as a map of the Confederacy is very appropriate.
