For most of us, history begins the day we were born. We live in the present and are schooled in the present, in large part by those educators who base their knowledge on the biased word of the victor. A disservice to the South
Former Washington Post executive editor Ben Bradlee once stated, "To hell with the news. I'm no longer interested in news. I'm interested in causes. We don't print the truth. We don't pretend to print the truth." This attitude is certainly a grave disservice to the citizens of the South. Understanding that the government of these United States has, for decades, attempted to weaken the power of the individual and socially engineer the behavior of her citizens through progressive and unequal legislation and taxation, the League of the South would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to our organization. The League seeks a return to the principal of the right of the States to govern themselves as guaranteed under the 9th and 10th amendments of the United States Constitution. Better government
We want a return to smaller, more responsive, more efficient government. Local government empowered to meet local needs and be directly answerable to its citizens, not distant special interests. Our mission is to advance the independence of our Southern States and her people, as well as her cultural, social and political well-being. We hope to accomplish this in part by providing our citizens with stimulating fair and balanced competition to our local media. We are a proud and honorable Southern people intent to rebuild a noble society and seek an accurate portrayal or our history and culture. We dedicate ourselves to a rebirth of Southern graciousness and mutual respect to wipe out the animosity between races fanned by proponents of big government and social reengineering. We insist on a return to Biblical principles and an interpretation of the United States Constitution as originally written and intended by our founding fathers, and to restore those liberties guaranteed to the States and to the people in the Bill of Rights. Accurate and truthful education
We strive to educate Southerners and all Americans about the true history of the our country and the South and to work to eliminate the anti southern bias and stereotypes that are so prevalent in textbooks, films, television and popular culture in general. We offer a fresh unreconstructed alternative to the sometimes undernourished intelligence of our present day educators. Above all, we proclaim before God and all nations of the earth that we are a distinct people, with an honorable heritage and culture, worthy of protection and preservation.

A
single white star on a field of solid blue was one of our State's early
nineteenth century symbols.
This flag flew over the Free and Independent State of West Florida from
September 23 to December 6, 1810. This republic covered the area below
the thirty-first parallel between the Mississippi and Pearl Rivers--now
a part of Louisiana.
The flag later became the unofficial ensign of the South in 1860-61
and inspired Harry McCarthy to compose the well-known song, "The
Bonnie Blue Flag."
