[Editor's Note: The New Albany Declaration was born in part, at least, because of the Great Southern League Race Debate. Many statements had been made by pro-Southern activists in that debate that were so very contrary to the beliefs Southerners have always held. This was a cause of great concern to many traditional Southerners holding traditional Southern beliefs.
Although members of all major Southern heritage groups were in attendance for the New Albany Conference, it is not actually a statement of what any of the groups will admit to believing. There is certainly pro-New Albany sentiment within every Southern heritage group. And I'm hopeful that as time goes by, that sentiment will grow by leaps and bounds.
There were perhaps two dozen participants at New Albany. And when we arrived, not many, if any, of the participants were aware that a "New Albany Declaration" would be eventually drafted. When the three-day meeting was finished, a committee that had been appointed for the purpose of of composing the Declaration went to work. Their initial draft was sent to all of the attendees and we were able to make suggestions for addtions, changes, and deletions. Below is the final product.
The main points of agreement among the conferees were (1) the Southern people is composed of Northern European peoples who have moved here and formed families and communities. The Southern people are dominated by those of Anglo-Saxon and Celtic ethnic lineage. (2) The Southern people are a Christian people. (3) The Southern way of life is an agrarian way of life, which was explained to me as meaning that we hold a love for the land of the South. And when we are in Dixie, we know we are home. I certainly hold strongly to all three points.
The main note of discord, and in truth it wasn't very substantial, was that people like myself wanted to emphasize the "Christian" aspect of our peoplehood while others wanted to emphasize our tether to the larger body of Northern European peoples. The resulting compromise reads pretty well, in my opinion.
The more of our people who come to believe and stand for the principles contained in the New Albany Declaration, the greater the progress we will make as both individuals and a people. If a large percentage unite behind the ideals in this document, then while we may not become unstoppable, we will certainly be able to build a better society around us, bequeath a better life for the next generation, and ensure a place for ourselves in heaven for eternity. It's pretty hard to beat a deal like that.]
Adopted in summit at New Albany, Mississippi, October 12, 1996, by members of all major Southern heritage groups; undertaken in the spirit of the Albany Congress of 1754.
NEW ALBANY DECLARATION
All the natural world is based on loyalty to hearth and kin. Yet, in the West, historical regard for the integrity of distinct peoples and cultures is being submerged in a multicultural "melting pot." It will, if carried to its logical conclusion, overwhelm peoples of European descent. By subverting natural affinities, those in power commit the crime of genocide against Western peoples. It is the natural right of all peoples to seek their own survival and safety. Given the pace at which changes are unfolding, it has become necessary to seek political solutions that would have hitherto been unthinkable, that is the irrevocable separation of threatened peoples from governing bodies that no longer further their safety and well-being.
No distinct people is more threatened than the European-derived peoples who constitute the American South. In 1861, the United States government waged a war of destruction and annihilation against the Southern people, a war provoked in part by abolitionists, who agitated ceaselessly for destruction of Southern whites by military force and armed servile insurrection. This call for their own murder met the only response any sane people could possibly make. The Southern people fought back, surrendering only when the weight of the invader became more than life itself could bear. While the factors influencing the political climate have changed in the intervening century, nevertheless it is self-evident that Abraham Lincoln's war of aggression against people of his own blood, and for the benefit of those of another descent, is now being reenacted throughout the West.
By such means are a proud and brave people brought to ruin. Indeed, the situation today is far worse because it afflicts all of the West. Nowhere in the civilized world is there sanctuary from the dissolutive multicultural tendencies inflicted in 1865 only on the South. If we are to survive, this spiritual malignancy cannot stand. We, the Southern people, are resolved that, whatever the risks to ourselves, we must take those steps necessary to secure the existence of our people and a future for our children. Therefore, and to that endââ¬â
In the 131st year of our physical and spiritual occupation by the United States Government, we, the unreconstructed Southern people, do proclaim the following:
I. NATURAL RIGHTS OF A FREE PEOPLE
That we are a Christian people of Northwest European descent, with predominately Anglo-Celtic institutions, traditions, culture and heritage; wherever we may abide, we are bound by blood, loyalty and sentiment to the American South, comprising: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.
That our historical and cultural identity was forged over a 400 year period of exploration, settlement and endeavor that created our distinct character, dialects, folkways, values and civilization. The War for Southern Independence was the crucible that transformed us into a people with a single purpose and destiny.
That we have an unalienable right to self-determination and to continued existence as a distinct people. These unalienable rights were bought with the courage, tenacity and sacrifice of ancestors who fought and died in the War for Southern Independence, the American Revolution, and in every American conflict where duty's call beckoned.
That the ideals of liberty and sovereignty undergirding America's founding were in large measure given voice by the genius and resolve of Southern statesmen; the transcendent principles they embraced, codified in the Virginia Declaration of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights, have served as an enduring inspiration to all people who aspire to self-government.
That no power on earth is morally justified in depriving our people or our posterity of safety, independence or substance; to this end, separation and independent nationhood are morally just measures for securing the safety of a free people.
II. DISPOSSESSION OF THE SOUTHERN PEOPLE
That the hallowed battlefields and cemeteries of 1861-1865 bear silent witness to the destruction wrought by the United States government in league with Northern financial interests and social radicals for the purpose of subjugating and obliterating the Southern people, to wit: abolition, aggression, conquest, disenfranchisement, reconstruction and amalgamation.
That during the military occupation called Reconstruction, the South endured destructive physical, economic and social depredations by carpetbaggers, scalawags and freedmen; Reconstruction ended not because of federal benevolence, but by the indomitable resistance of the Southern people to their own dispossession, despite which the federal government continued its policy of economic exploitation until World War II, keeping much of the South in unrelieved poverty.
That we, as well as all Americans of European descent, are suffering a second, more terrible reconstruction, one that began in the late 1940's with the schism in the Democratic Party over the "Civil Rights" plank, that escalated with the Brown school desegregation decision of 1954, and that achieved dominance with the "Civil Rights" Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
That the moral and societal dissolution engendered by this Second Reconstruction was thrust on us through propaganda, deceit and force of arms by adherents of the Marxist, universalist ideology known as liberalism, an ideology alien to the Southern people, contrary to God's laws, and destructive of all who are deceived by it.
That the tidal wave of Third World immigration unleashed during this Second Reconstruction imperils not only our right of self-government but our continued biological existence, as indeed it imperils all Western peoples.
That in furtherance of the illusion of a multicultural "Tower of Babel," an unholy alliance of government, media and, regrettably, Christian churches in error are directing a relentless campaign of slander and abasement against our institutions, traditions, symbols, and history through destructive laws, dishonest reporting, and teaching of false universalist doctrines.
That the assertion of equality among races, sexes and moral belief systems is contradicted by every shred of natural evidence; as a people, we condemn inter-racial unions because they are destroying our society and our people's very existence.
That much of the subjugation of the Southern people has been fostered by weak or inept Southern leaders who, due to venality, cowardice or lack of vision, refuse to confront the hard choices needed to preserve our heritage and our children's future.
III. THE SOUTHERN CREED
That as Southerners, we affirm our faith in and devotion to God, Family and Country and to the traditions that have sustained our people for uncounted generations; Southern ideals of honor, chivalry, courage and discipline are timeless virtues, unchanged by the decadence of the modern age. While respecting freedom of conscience we are a Christian people, with Christian institutions.
That we believe equality is the sworn enemy of liberty, and we recognize a natural, hierarchial social order and adhere to a political system in which the best members of society are enabled to rise to positions of leadership and civic duty.
That the agrarian origin of the Southern people confers a deep affection for nature and for the land; responsible stewardship over nature's bounty has ever been the duty of all Southerners.
That we respect traditional social norms defining the role of the family, the relationships between men and women, and the ideals of Southern Manhood and Southern Womanhood.
That we have a long and distinguished martial tradition that precludes soldierly participation by women or other races.
That kindred folk who marry into Southern families and adopt Southern ideals and traditions may become naturalized Southerners. We welcome kindred folk who, without benefit of family ties, adopt the Southern way of life; conversely, Southern nativity alone does not confer Southern nationality.
That while maintaining the integrity of Southerners as a distinct people and culture, we seek renewed fraternal ties with kindred peoples and friendly relations with all people of goodwill.
IV. RESOLVE FOR SELF-DETERMINATION
That we shall never accept the defeat of the Confederacy, the subjugation of our people, nor the eradication of our symbols as the final judgment of history, nor shall we accept alien domination of Southern churches, schools, media, commerce, industry, government, or, through these institutions, alien control of Southern life.
That defense and preservation of Southern symbols, monuments, relics and history are sacred charges to every Southerner; in defense of this heritage no honorable retreat or compromise is possible.
That the Confederate Battle Flag is the banner of the Southern people and stands preeminent as the most powerful symbol of liberty and Southern nationhood in a constellation of venerable Southern symbols. "Dixie" is the anthem of that nation, that we will stand when it is played and sing it with boldness and pride.
That those who love the South are committed to the health and prosperity of its people, the rejuvenation of its culture, the unbiased recording of its history, and the lifting of occupation and control of the South by non-Southerners.
That we pledge "our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor" to the creation of a secure homeland for our people and a future for our children, and we shall use all moral means, consistent with the right of self-preservation, to achieve that end.
That true Southerners, like our unreconstructed Confederate ancestors, have an abiding faith in Providence and the rightness of the Southern Cause, and that we do affirm that faith by adherence to the principles of this Declaration.
