Why the South must regain its sovereignty...

(Courtesy, Southern Party)

     Long recognized as "a nation within a nation" the South's social, economic, cultural and political priorities often do not coincide with those of the rest of the United States.  As many non-Southern Americans have long observed, "the South is different," and this is the central realization that drives our work.  The problem, as we see it, is that the South has no unified political voice that will defend its interests.  With national independence crushed by military force in 1865 and State's Rights effectively undermined in the past few decades, the South has been adrift for years and under almost constant assault by the forces of modernism, rampant social engineering and moral relativism.

For Southerners, the War for Southern Independence did not truly end in the village of Appomattox on Palm Sunday of 1865.  Instead, the conflict moved from hot war to cold war as the South was transformed into an economic colony of the North and became the national whipping boy for the rest of the country.  For a time, however, it seemed that the South might be able to preserve her unique culture within the political boundaries of the now consolidated and degraded union.  This hope proved to be overly optimistic as the experience of the past 134 years has demonstrated.  Any hope of maintaining genuine sovereignty was squelched as liberalism emerged as the dominant political philosophy during the New Deal era. These partisans of the political Left were intent on sweeping aside all resistance to the modern agenda of radical social engineering and this meant that Southerners would no longer be allowed to govern their own affairs.

For the past four decades the people of the South have been the target of an insidious and incrementalist campaign of cultural cleansing aided and abetted by the reigning forces of liberalism that seeks to replace the rule of men for the rule of law in America. Even more disturbing, this campaign has accelerated in the past 15 years, resulting in a cultural and political crisis that grows increasingly intolerable as the prospects for national reform grow ever dimmer.

This menacing trend has convinced legions of Southerners that the current union is gravely imperiled.  Indeed, many have concluded that Dixie must regain genuine sovereignty, and perhaps even outright independence, in order to preserve her venerable political, social, economic and cultural institutions.

In many respects, Dixie's current predicament is not unlike that which has faced the people of Scotland and Quebec - both national minorities trying to protect their culture, traditions and economic well-being from highly centralized and distant governments that have never adequately represented their interests. In the United Kingdom the Scots have responded to this problem by forming the Scottish National Party (SNP) in the 1930's. After many years of crying in the wilderness, the SNP recently became the major opposition party in the newly formed Scottish Parliament and is pushing aggressively for full political independence from London. Likewise, in Canada, the French-speaking people of Quebec formed the Quebec Party (Parti Quebecois) in the 1960's to protect their culture and interests and to secure good government for their people. The Parti Quebecois has been instrumental in winning political concessions from the central government of Canada and is credited by many with ensuring the survival of the French culture of Quebec. In 1995, the pro-independence voters of the PQ won 49.44% of the vote on a sovereignty referendum that nearly resulted in outright independence FOR Quebec. As we draw closer to the new millennium, the PQ continues to push aggressively for nationhood.
