League of the South
The League of the South describes itself as a Southern nationalist organization, headquartered in Killen, Alabama, which states that its ultimate goal is "a free and independent Southern republic."〔(League of the South website )〕 The group defines the Southern United States as the states that made up the former Confederacy.〔("The US Civil War as a Theological War: Confederate Christian Nationalism and the League of the South" )〕 It claims to be also a religious and social movement, advocating a return to a more traditionally conservative, Christian-oriented Southern culture. It advocates a "natural societal order of superiors and subordinates", using as an example, "Christ is the head of His Church; husbands are the heads of their families; parents are placed over their children; employers rank above their employees; the teacher is superior to his students, etc." The organization has ties to the Italian separatist political group Lega Nord.〔
The League of the South has been described as a white supremacist and white nationalist organization. The Southern Poverty Law Center has designated the League of the South as a Neo-Confederate hate group.〔(League of the South page at SPLC )〕 The League boasted in a video made at its 2012 national convention about the fact that the SPLC described it as a hate group, because they believe that the SPLC has a "bias" against right wing and anti-gay organizations.
==History==
The organization was formed in 1994 by Michael Hill and others, including attorney Jack Kershaw.〔http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/tennessean/obituary.aspx?n=jack-kershaw&pid=145402616&fhid=4485 Jack Kershaw Obituary〕 The League of the South was named in reference to the League of United Southerners, a group organized in 1858 to shape Southern public opinion and the Lega Nord (Northern League), a very successful populist movement in northern Italy.〔(League of the South FAQ )〕
The LOS’ first meeting was represented with a group of 40 men. There were Southern professors among them. Michael Hill was a leader and still is. He was a British history professor and specialist in Celtic history at Stillman College, which is considered to be a historically black school in Tuscaloosa, Ala. However, Hill has since left his teaching position.〔https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/league-south〕
