| 释义 |
The Southern Brotherhood Militia was founded in Scottsburg, Indiana, in 1928 by James Melvin Bruce. James M. Bruce was a veteran of the Spanish–American War; his fellow army veteran friends had strong feelings for the southern Confederacy; they chose the name Southern Brotherhood. James M. Bruce was murdered on June 6, 1936. This date is significant; it is now known as S.B. day, a holiday for all Southern Brotherhood members and supporters. James M. Bruce's son Melvin Russell Bruce known as "Pop" became president of the Southern Brotherhood. Melvin R. Bruce had established the patriarch system, which friends and family of the original members would lead the newer units created; Melvin died in 1993, passed the leadership role down to his two grandsons. When the two sons took over, they changed the name of the Southern Brotherhood to Southern Brotherhood Militia, because of problems with copy caters using the good, well-established name of the Southern Brotherhood. Now known as the Southern Brotherhood Militia (SBM). The SBM has become international, with units in Northern Ireland, Serbia, Canada, Argentina, Canada. It has become one of the largest underground American militia groups; units known as "Wolf-packs" have 21 men, are located in every state in the United States. It is believed they have created over 100 Wolf-packs just in the United States, that are underground cell groups. The Southern Brotherhood Militia operates a 9-region system in the U.S., that don't allow their Wolf-packs to mix with other Wolf-packs from other regions. The SBM created a female-only splinter group called the Southern Belles of SBM, for women. SBM has never advocated the overthrow of the U.S. Government; they have a very large influence in the American Militia Movement and right-wing groups. SBM has very strong support from the Serbian people in Serbia, because of a pact they had made with a Serbian general for the defense of Serbian refugees fleeing to the United States. References
