The League of the South founded in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in June 1994, seeks to advance the cultural, social, economic, and political well-being and independence of the Southern people by all honorable means.
Recognising that cultural regeneration must precede political regeneration, our initial goal is to give form and direction to "The Community of the Southern People." Only when we begin to rediscover who we are as a people can we save our civilization. The people of the South must come to understand that they indeed are a "nation" in the organic, historical sense of the word. As individuals and communities, we must secede culturally from a world that is waging cultural genocide against our traditions, our heritage and our values. If we do this, and in the process revitalize our culture, then perhaps we will be able to successfully pursue a political course toward independence and freedom. Once The League of the South has made "The Community of the Southern People" a reality, then we can pursue our political objectives: a return to constitutional republicanism and true federalism, or if that should prove unattainable, secession.
Secession, or self-determination, is the ultimate right of free men; and in the spirit of our Founding and Confederate forefathers, we shall, if necessary, invoke that principle once again. Should The South choose a course of political self-determination, it will not be alone. All around the world we see devolutionist political movements in places like the former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Quebec and Scotland. The devolution of multi-national unions is a world-wide trend that emerged during the late-1980's and which continues to gather momentum in the 1990's. The League of the South is on the cutting edge of this exciting cultural and political phenomenon. As a response to the tyranny of the centralized state and its attendant enormities, it is, we believe, the most prudent of courses.
The League of the South extends an offer of cooperation to all peoples and groups in America and the world who share our general outlook, values, and principles and who wish to defend the remnant of Western civilization.
