South Atlantic was an American magazine published from 1877 to 1882. It was edited by Carrie Jenkins Harris (sometimes listed as "Mrs. Cicero Harris", her husband's name[1]). It started in Wilmington, North Carolina, and then moved to Baltimore.[2][3]

For the first issue, Harris, solicited Paul Hamilton Hayne to supply a poem for free, saying in a letter dated 1877-08-03 that she regretted having limited funding and: "I am sure you desire the successful establishment of such an enterprise sufficiently to induce you to give me a few pages of ms in order to ensure that success.".[4]
