League of the South

The League of the South (LS) is an American white nationalist, neo-Confederate, white supremacist organization that says its goal is "a free and independent Southern republic".

Headquartered in Killen, Alabama, the group advocates for the reestablishment of the Confederate States of America, comprising Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North and South Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, and Virginia, with additional states of Oklahoma, Missouri, Kentucky, and Maryland also being included, despite not being a part of the historical confederacy. It claims to also be a religious and social movement, advocating a return to a more traditionally conservative, Christian-oriented Southern culture.

The movement and its members are allied with the alt-right. The group was part of the neo-Nazi Nationalist Front formerly alongside the National Socialist Movement (NSM), the now-defunct Traditionalist Workers Party (TWP) and Vanguard America (VA, since rebranded as Patriot Front). The group helped organize the Pikeville rally in Pikeville, Kentucky; the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia; and the White Lives Matter rally in Shelbyville, Tennessee. The Southern Poverty Law Center has designated it as a hate group. Provided by Wikipedia
