Southern Victory Series
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, therefore making good its attempt at secession and becoming an independent nation. Subsequent books are built on imagining events based on this alternate timeline. The secondary name is derived from General Robert E. Lee's Special Order 191, which detailed the C.S. Army of Northern Virginia's invasion of the Union through the border state Maryland in September 1862.

Deseret (Book Of Mormon)
Deseret (; Deseret: ππ―π π¨ππ―π») is a term derived from the Book of Mormon, a scripture of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and other Latter Day Saint groups.

Latter-day Saint scholar Hugh Nibley (extending the work of Egyptologist Sir Alan Gardiner) suggested an etymology by associating the word "Deseret" with the ancient Egyptian '' deshret'' ( Egyptian: π§ππππ), a term he translated as the " bee crown" of the Lower Kingdom, but which non-LDS scholarly sources translate as the "Red Crown". Proposed State of Deseret Deseret was proposed as a name for the U.S. state of Utah. Brigham Youngβgovernor of Utah Territory from 1850 to 1858 and president of the LDS Church from 1847 to 1877βfavored the nam ...
