Is the Constitution Really Inimical
To States Rights? Part 8
by Al Benson, Jr.
Several years ago I read an interesting book called The Jefferson Conspiracies written by David Leon Chandler (now deceased). He dealt at some length with some of the political intrigue that went on during the early days of the republic, and the picture he gives us of some of the Founding Fathers is, shall we say, less than pristine. In fact some of what he describes almost sounds like politics in Chicago. You have to wonder, reading some of this stuff, how much has really changed in the last two centuries. The happy fables we've been told about some of our founders are just that--fables.
Is the Constitution Really Inimical
To States Rights? Part 7
by Al Benson, Jr.
One thing you must have if you desire to perpetrate a conspiracy is a certain amount of secrecy. You may not be able to fool everybody all the time, but you need to be able to fool enough of them so that almost no one knows what you have done until it is "set in concrete" so to speak. Therefore, should there be any written evidence or proof of what you have done, it must be kept from the public at least long enough for the damage you've done to become firmly entrenched so that it is almost impossible to undo it.
Is the Constitution Really Inimical
To States Rights? Part 6
by Al Benson, Jr.
The Philadelphia Constitutional Convention in the Summer of 1787, was a secret gathering convened for the purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation. It was an elite group that Jefferson described as 'demigods'. Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and probably President George Washington had no intention of abiding by the instructions from congress to revise the Articles. Their intention was to form a new federal government...
North Carolina War Between the States Sesquicentennial Website Now Online!
The North Carolina War Between the States Sesquicentennial Commission has published an online resource for North Carolinians interested in knowing more about our State’s role in its second war for independence, 1861-1865. A foremost part of the website content is an outline of the reasons for seeking political self-determination in May, 1861, and in the words of the people and North Carolina leaders of that day. Appropriately titled “A State Forced Out of the Union,” this segment shows that North Carolina seceded from the Union after the US president, sworn to defend the Constitution, illegally raised an army to invade South Carolina and subjugate its citizens. ...
What is States' Rights? Part 7
This article will focus on an example of how one aspect of the concept of States Rights was instrumental in the march to our Independence and demonstrate that this concept was lost with the ratification of the Constitution of 1787.
Is the Constitution Really Inimical
To States Rights? Part 5
by Al Benson, Jr.
We've all been informed, via most of the "history" books we've read, that the framers gave us a federated form of government. Some have, no doubt, told you that the use of the word "national" was just a convenient way of referring to the central government and it really didn't mean anything. How nice if that were only true!

Looking at some of the "decisions" the Supreme Court has handed down in our lifetime, can anyone seriously doubt the concerns Robert Yates had? In fact, if anything, his concerns would today have to be labeled as "optimistic" because, in his day, he could have had no concept of just how far the Court would go in promoting the agendas of radical, activist judges who would shamelessly promote their version of what they wished the Constitution really said...

Is the Constitution Really Inimical
To States Rights? Part 1
by Al Benson, Jr.
Years ago, when I first became involved in conservative and patriotic endeavors I can recall many patriotic folks stating that we needed to get our government "back to the Constitution." For a little over a decade, I honestly believed that myself, so I am not faulting those that also believed it, or still believe it. However, over the years, events have changed my thinking...
Honor, Violence, and Civilization
by Dr. J. Michael Hill
As further evidence that academics frequently miss the obvious one need look no further than the 1996 study by two mid-western psychologists on the proclivity of white Southern males to resort to violence when their honor is challenged. The latest clap-trap from the pointy-head class is enough to underwhelm Southerners who have long known that good ole’ boys like to get into a scuffle now and again over questions of propriety and good manners...
Jesse Jackson and the Confederate Agenda
LS Statement
Jesse Jackson accused Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker of having a "Confederate agenda" in his recent dealings with labor unions and the State budget crisis.
The League of the South calls upon Mr. Jackson to define what he means by a "Confederate agenda," beyond general accusations of anti-labor, anti-civil rights, anti-voting rights, and pro-States Rights sentiments....
What is States' Rights? Part 6
In the very early days of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, the delegates, the framers of the Constitution made a deliberate and conscious decision to discontinue a federated form of government and to replace it … let me emphasize … REPLACE IT … with a national form of government in their deliberations. ...

What a 'Hate Group' Hates
by Thomas J. DiLorenzo, Ph.D.
The main source of the lies about me that were told by Congressman William Lacy Clay (D-Big Banks) at Congressman Ron Paul’s Fed hearing on February 9 was the far left-wing, big government-worshipping hate group known as the Southern Poverty Law Center. Referring to one of its laughingly-named "intelligence reports," the SPLC misinformed Clay that I "work for" an alleged "hate group" called The League of the South....
LS Lambasted at Hearing of U.S.
House Financial Services Committee
The League of the South has pointed out for many years the corruption in Washington, the failure of the US government to operate within the bounds of the Constitution, and the utter abandonment of the Principles that led to the creation of American Liberty. Indeed, the effects of these corrupt and failed policies on our liberty and prosperity and that of our children and grandchildren are criminal...
What is States' Rights? Part 5

Everything You Were Taught About The
Civil War Is Wrong
by Lochlainn Seabrook
Lochlainn Seabrook's Everything You Were Taught About The Civil War Is Wrong is exactly what every patriotic Southerner needs in 2011--the sesquicentennial of the War to Prevent Southern independence. The establishment will pull out all the stops to continuing its demonization of the South; Southern folks can fight back with the information in this fine book.
What Is States' Rights Part 4
In Part 1 of this series a concept was presented that runs
a bit contrary to current public conception – that the term States’ Rights can
be used more for partisan benefit than a true effort to protect the God-Given
Rights of the people. Part 2 demonstrated that as early as 1801 incursions
attacking American Liberty had already started and have continued to this day.
Part 3 gave details on an obvious expansion of central government powers
(authority) by legislative action.
LS Statement - Richmond U.S. District Court ruling on ObamaCare
On Monday, 13 December 2010, U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson in Richmond, Virginia, ruled that the requirement mandating that individuals purchase health insurance found in President Barack Obama’s health-care legislation goes beyond Congress’s powers to regulate interstate commerce.
What Is States' Rights Part 3
Today it would be laughable to state that the federal government does not create “new” authority from not only legislation but also judicial edict and historically has also used armed aggression. One does not have to look very far to find examples of federal government laws that are obviously beyond the scope that any of the Founding Fathers or Framers of the Constitution of 1787 could have conceived.
What Is States' Rights Part 2
States’ Rights (or more properly State’s Powers) certainly has merit. But, if today’s so-called States’ Rights efforts are not directed at resolving the causes of the failure to achieve a truly federated form of government and to guarantee the citizen’s God-given rights, then it’s nothing more than self-serving partisan politics
Washington - An Organized Criminal Enterprise
In the wake of the League’s 17th annual national conference, we believe it is time to restate the obvious for those who still don’t “get it” yet: the US government in DC is an organized criminal enterprise. Despite being founded on the “principle” of limited government, it has its tentacles in virtually every aspect of our lives all over our beloved Southland.
What is States’ Rights?
A very wise man, one for whom I have great respect, recently issued what seemed to be a challenge, “Was all y'all's talk about states' rights just whiskey talk, or do y'all really believe it?” Then he followed with, “If you do really believe it, then get liquored up and write an article!”
9/26-League of the South Statement
As the disintegrating entity known as The United States of America goes into the proverbial "dustbin of history" because of fiscal irresponsibility, greed, sloth, avarice, and apathy, we in The League of the South remind you all that over a decade ago we told you what was going to happen. In fact, in our Declaration of Southern Cultural Independence, we spoke on behalf of our people (most of whom were too busy to listen at that time) and warned them of what was ahead.
LS Statement - The Beck/Palin Movement

8/04-League of the South Statement
From its inception in 1994, The League believed it impossible to reform the American political system. If our anti-Federalist and Confederate ancestors were right (and we believe they were), then this is the only logical
position we could have taken.
7/28-League of the South Statement
Re: Feds strike down central provisions of Arizona immigration law
Imagine that! A federal judge ruling in favor of the federal government in a case against a State! But that’s what you can expect when there is no impartial arbiter to determine matters of constitutionality.
7/23-League of the South Statement
Ten years ago, The League of the South issued the following Declaration of Southern Cultural Independence. Standing on the steps of the Alabama State Capitol in Montgomery, the leadership of the League understood that the day must come in which the South would be politically free so she could preserve her sublime cultural inheritance and all that stems from it. That day has arrived.
7/7-League of the South Statement
The League of the South, the premier Southern nationalist organization,
supports the sovereign State of Arizona in its on-going struggle against the
Obama regime to protect the lives, liberty, and property of its citizens
against illegal immigration.

Southern Independence Is Our
Only Sane Option
As the regime continues to reveal its true nature, more and more people come to see it for what it really is--a monster that will devour our very life substance if we don't separate ourselves from it at once.
Feds Out of Dixie!
The League of the South, is firmly convinced that many of Dixie's economic, social, and political difficulties would be greatly diminished by simply removing the Federal Government as a participant in solving them. Indeed, if history has demonstrated anything it is that the Federal Government's over reaching and unconstitutional control over our homeland has never solved anything.
Serfdom,Revolution,Or Southern Independence
As the boot of centralized fascist-socialist tyranny pushes harder on our necks, we have three choices: 1) serfdom; 2) revolution; or 3) Southern independence. I would hope those reading this would have already omitted option number one from consideration.
