Fort Southerland, Civil War redoubt in Camden, United States.
The oval-shaped earthen fortification spans the size of a city block with positions designed to accommodate three artillery pieces.
Confederate forces constructed Fort Southerland in early 1864 following the Union victory in Little Rock, establishing it as part of Camden's defensive network.
The fort represents a significant example of Civil War military engineering, demonstrating the defensive strategies employed during the Camden Expedition.
Fort Southerland Park, established in 1974, provides public access to the historic earthworks through interpretive signs and walking paths.
The fortification changed hands between Confederate and Union forces in April 1864, with each side making improvements to its defensive capabilities.
