((STEVE FLORA/VA CHAIRMAN LEAGUE OF THE SOUTH: FOR THE NORTH TO INVADE THE SOUTH AND SAY YOU CAN'T LEAVE AND TO WIN THAT ONE BY FORCE WE FEEL LIKE THERE IS AN OPEN WOUND.))
[OUTQ=]

That open wound gave Michael Hill the idea of forming the League of the South seven years ago. Hill says there is still a need to fight for the idea of limited self government.

[SOT 14:14:11]

((MICHAEL HILL: WE BELIEVE TODAY THE FOUNDING PRINCIPLES HAVE BEEN DISCARDED IN FAVOR OF PRINCIPLES THAT FAVOR A CONSOLIDATED GOVERNMENT THAT BASICALLY INTRUDES INTO EVERYBODY'S LIVES IN WAYS OUR ANCESTORS WOULD HAVE NEVER IMAGINED.))

So the group hopes to educate the nation on what they call the other side of the war, the side history books don't write about.

((STEVE FLORA: WE FEEL LIKE THERE IS A BIAS FROM 1865 AND THE VICTORS GENERALLY WRITE THE HISTORY BOOKS AND WE DIDN'T WIN THAT ONE SO WE'RE NOT WRITING THE HISTORY BOOKS.))

But the group's ideals are criticized by the NAACP, saying slavery was part of the Confederate principles and those ideals should remain part of history. Steve Flora says the organization agrees.

[SOT 14:04:48]
[INQ=]
((STEVE FLORA: WE BELIEVE THE WAR WAS NOT FOUGHT OVER SLAVERY IT WAS FOUGHT OVER STATE SOVEREIGNTY AND STATES RIGHTS BEING ABLE TO SUCCEED FROM THE UNION.))
[OUTQ=]

And while the battles on the field are over the League of the South hopes to continue the skirmish in the classroom. As for the future, the organization would like to see the South become a free and independent nation once again, so it can return to its Christian roots. Kate Weidaw News 7 Salem.))
