Presbyterian Church in the United States
The Presbyterian Church in the United States was a Protestant denomination in the Southern and border states of the United States that existed from 1861 to 1983. That year, it merged with the United Presbyterian Church in the United States of America (UPCUSA) to form the Presbyterian Church (USA).
R.L. Dabney (1820-1898), a Confederate veteran, became an influential theologian in the PCUS.
