quiz 6

Upon browsing through the League of the South website, I came across many disturbing readings. This website is a recruiting tool to try to pursue others into joining what they believe in. The League of the South believes that what they believe in is the right thing and they are the future of the South.
Across the main page of the website reads “LEAGUE OF THE SOUTH: FOR THE FUTRUE OF THE SOUTH”. The League of the South was formed in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in June 1994. The group was formed to organize the Southern people so that they might effectively pursue independence and self-government. The ultimate goal of the League of the South is to advance the cultural, social, economic, and political well-being and independence of the Southern people by all honorable means. However, the League of the South members are not revolutionaries. They do not seek to overthrow the United States Government, rather by peaceful legal and constitutional means, to separate themselves from it. The League of the South believes in offering good cooperation towards blacks in the South. They believe all people in the South can work together to make life better for all. The website also states the government in the South would protect all law-abiding citizens.
Why does the League of the South feel a need to liberate from the Unites States Government? The League of the South believe that the United States Government has taken away the free man’s rights and our determined to get them back. The League of the South believes in a safe nation for their families, liberty, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They obviously do not believe that the United States of America provides them with that.
I am so confused as to why these types of websites are created. We live in a country that is the greatest in the world, which grants us with so much. However, we have websites like this one that take away pride in the United States. It is hard to believe that people still want to leave this nation even though we know what is out there. Websites like this one just make me mad and confused.
