Michael Hill (activist)

Michael Hill (born 1951) is an American-born political activist from Alabama. He is a co-founder and the president of the "Southern secession" movement the League of the South, an organization whose stated goal is to create an independent country made up of the former slave states of the American South. A Neo-Confederate, Hill is known for his white supremacist and pro-slavery views.

Early life and education

Hill was born in 1951 in Alabama.

He studied history at the University of Alabama, where two of his professors were Grady McWhiney and Forrest McDonald. In Cracker Culture, McWhiney and McDonald argued that the Southern United States was settled by Anglo-Celts for the most part, as opposed to the Northern United States, which was settled by British Protestants. In 2000, historian Brooks D. Simpson countered the claim, stating that "There are key parts of the South which were not settled by Anglo-Celts or anyone who saw themselves that way" and that "Southern culture is fundamentally defined by the interaction of different racial groups, primarily blacks and whites, and, to a lesser extent, Native Americans."
