TREASONOUS ACTIONS OF THE LEAGUE OF THE SOUTH
May 4, 2005

CONSTITUTION OF THE 
CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA 

ARTICLE III. SECTION 3.
1. Treason against the Confederate States shall consist . . .  in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. 

The  Congress  of  the  Confederate States  of  America  passed  legislation  entitled CLAUSES RELATING TO MILITARY AND NAVAL AFFAIRS on Treason as follows:
Treason
Our forefather C.S.A. Congressmen wrote the following in connection with Treasonous actions which, although written during the military invasion of the Confederate States by Yankee troops,  could well apply during times of occupation by enemy forces or times of cessation of military hostilities. 
 
The act itself expired, as noted below:

405. States:  This act  shall continue in force for ninety days after the next  meeting of Congress, and no longer.

But the essence of their thinking of what constituted Treasonous actions against the CSA is as follows:

1.  Treasonable efforts or combinations to subvert the Government of the Confederate States.  The State and national Governments of the C.S.A. still legally exist and are being re-staffed at present.  
The League of the South (the League or LOS) organized out of the Southern League which started in 1994 to counter the Confederate Society of America which was a fully Confederate organization dedicated to the restoration of the Confederate States of America.  At first the League seemed Southern and maybe Confederate, but ignored all efforts to work cooperatively with the Confederate Society of America and, in fact, has stolen away their best people.  In answer to a Confederate Alliance national convention of 1999, the League organized the Southern Party and appointed the ruling men over it and then they organized a rally to sign a document called the Asheville, Declaration supposedly a  Second Declaration of Independence August 7, 1999.  However, in careful reading we find complaints against the Federal Government and talk of the need to assert a Southern Nation, but little mention of the Confederacy, one mention of the Confederate States that broke away from the Union and NO MENTION OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA.  

Major media coverage occurred, indicating likely establishment approval of this misdirection.

The League controlled new Southern Party rapidly grew, but soon self destructed, we believe by design, where Federalist Jerry Baxley promoted the Monarchal rule of the party and Madison Cook promoted an Anarchy of States as the two extreme poles of the party with both men being controlled by Michael Hill, the paid President of the League.  The effect of these two poles who were orchestrating an appearance of bitter opposition to each other was not only to destroy the Southern Party, but also to discourage and disgust thousands of Confederates who otherwise would have joined, thus scuttling the movement they thought.
 
However, as the Southern Party self destructed, Texas and Arkansas on July 4, 2000 formed the Federation of States to build a truly Confederate party called THE SOUTHERN INDEPENDENCE PARTY (SIP).   The Southern Independence Party grew rapidly and still is in operation today, but has been consistently attacked and opposed by both the Baxley factions and Madison Cook.  (Cook even took the name SIP for his Tennessee party, but instead of cooperating with the other SIP State parties, he attempted to steal their personnel and otherwise discredit the other SIP’s with the aim of destroying them as well.  Michael Hill tried to remain behind the scenes during this effort, but has ignored all efforts to cooperate with the various SIP’s sponsored by the Federation of States who call openly for the Restoration of the Confederate States of America.   

Hill’s speeches, and writings including the Core Beliefs of the Board of Directors of the League and the formal plans to form a new non-confederate nation for the South contained in his “Grey Book” fail to even mention the Confederate States of America and have for the past 10 years.  It has become obvious that Hill has been advocating this destructive action against the true Confederate effort.  Dr. Hill and some of his board members have combined along with Madison Cook to subvert and have tried to prevent the resurrection of re-staffed Governments of the Confederate States which is an effort clearly treasonous according to the thinking of our forefathers in the Congress of the Confederate States of America.  

2.  Conspiracies to overthrow the government, or conspiracies to resist the lawful authorities of the Confederate States.  Those who oppose the re-staffing and resurrection of the State and national Governments of the C.S.A. while claiming to be Southern or Confederate or who are Citizens of the C.S.A.  combine to stop, destroy or divert the effort of re-staffing and resurrection of the C.S.A. fit this description of treasonous activity.

3.  Combining to assist the enemy, or of communicating intelligence to the enemy, or giving him aid and comfort.  This shoe fits those who allege to be involved in a true Confederate movement or worse, has become registered as a Citizen of the C.S.A., but is relaying plans and information to the League of the South or the Federal Union do therefore perform violations to the thinking of our Confederate forefathers and are committing treasonous activities.

4.  Conspiracies, preparations, and attempts to incite servile insurrection.
Those who conspire, prepare and attempt to incite infighting within the Citizenry of the C.S.A. acting, for example, as agents provocateurs fit this classification of treason. 

5.  Spies and other emissaries of the enemy.
Those who infiltrate a State or national Government of the C.S.A. for the purpose of determining plans, actions and successes or failures to the enemy (the League or the Federal Union) or who work as an emissary of the enemy without formal presentment to the authorities of the C.S.A. violate this definition of Treason against the C.S.A.

6.  Conspiracies, or attempts or preparations to aid the enemy.
Those who conspire, or attempt or make preparations to aid the enemy who are presently Citizens of the C.S.A. fit this definition of Treasonous activities. 

7.  Persons advising or inciting others to abandon the Confederate cause, or to resist the Confederate States, or to adhere to the enemy.
Those while claiming to be Southern or Confederate or who are Citizens of the C.S.A. advise or incite others to abandon the Confederate cause or fight against the Confederate States or advise others adhere to the enemy (League of the South or the Federal Union) commit this infraction of Treason conceived by our Confederate forefathers.
It is the intention of the Constitutional Court to bring the thinking and intent behind the elements of the laws on Treason had been passed and were abided in by the Congress of the Confederate States of America in 1864.  It should help present day leaders and Citizens to understand lines of action beyond which they should not cross in order to avoid going against the thinking of these forefathers.
