Dixie, subtitled "The Second War Between the States", is a board wargame designed by Redmond A. Simonsen and published by Simulations Publications, Inc. (SPI) in 1976 that simulates an alternate world where the Union lost the first American Civil War, and there is a second war between the North and the South in the early part of the 20th century.
The co-designer, Brian Davis, explained that the core "premise of the game is that you can take control of the south, win against insurmountable odds and effectively change the course of history". Edge noted that American Civil War was the only game published by Interactive Magic at the time to eschew 3D graphics.

The American Civil War (April 12, 1861 – May 26, 1865; also known by other names) was a civil war in the United States between the Union [e] ("the North") and the Confederacy ("the South"), which was formed in 1861 by states that had seceded from the Union.
The period featured a transformation from the issues of the Third Party System, which had focused on the American Civil War, Reconstruction, race, and monetary issues. The era began in the severe depression of 1893 and the extraordinarily intense election of 1896. It included the Progressive Era, World War I, and the start of the Great Depression.
Erudite created only the art and code for North vs. South; Interactive Magic researched, designed and published the game. [5] Although Taylor was a Civil War history enthusiast, and had worked on eight physical games set during the period, North vs. South was his first return to the topic since designing the 1988 version of Gettysburg.
