We wish to see the history of the south preserved for future generations. Graves, Street Names, County Names, Historic Cenotaphs and Monuments are all under attack by the Anti-History, Anti-American Heritage Haters. If any memory of Southern American history is to exist in America, it is up to us. ​ SSH FL is working tirelessly to counterpunch the "erase-ists" and to preserve and promote the history of the south. We hold events and provide resources related to the study and preservation of southern heritage. We also work with legislators to pass and maintain legislation to protect history and the freedoms of those who wish to support their heritage. ​ Our group does not condone racism and as such we do not support any group or person that does. We respect the rights and privileges of all as bestowed on them by their creator and expect those in our association to respect and treat others as they themselves would wish to be treated. ​ We invite you to join us in saving Southern Heritage and spread the word to like minded individuals.
