The Southern Phalange is a number of persons banded together for the common purpose of fighting for and defending our Glorious Southland which is Dixie.

Originally founded as the Gray Ghost Group in 1979, it was re-named the Southern Phalange in 1999. We seek to do more than just have demonstrations, barbques and writing letters to newspaper editors. We seek to become the most radical Southern Partisan organisation Dixie has witnessed since 1865, willing to do anything short of murder to defend our Culture, History, Heritage, Language and Symbols.

For every action there will be an opposite and equal reaction. When they take our flags down we'll take their flags down. When they dismantle our monuments, we'll dismantle theirs. If they vandalise something of ours, we'll vandalise something of theirs. After all this is a war and though it is not a war with guns and bombs it is a war nonetheless..A cultural war and a war for our very existence. We have God given right to exist.

We are not Racists and we abhor racism. Southerners or anyone else whether they be Black, White, Brown, Red, Yellow or Jewish that stands up for Dixie and loves our Southland, they are our brothers.

The Confederate/Southern flag is not devisive, it is a symbol that unites all Southerners regardless of race or religion. No other symbol can ever replace that flag because it is the only symbol for us as a people, a culture
and a place...that place is our beloved sacred Dixie, Amen.
