The Operation Southern Sunrise was a large conflict between the Provisional United States of America and its former military territories in the American South, including the declared nation of Georgia, the Army of the Carolinas, compromised of forces from North Carolina and South Carolina, and the Western Frontier Army, comprised of forces from Tennessee and Kentucky.

The war began in 1940 after a series of protests against the impoverished condition of the south resulted in a government crackdown to protect American food shipments. The area of the south in question was home to some of the wealthiest American plantations in the region, responsible for feeding Americans in the north. These plantations were often worked by poor refugees, who faced discrimination and poor standards of living.
