'Raise Your Battle Flag': How an Alabama musician came to record an alt-right anthem

Via Billy


On Aug. 5, a right-wing militia group called the Georgia III% Security Force held a Confederate rally at Stone Mountain. Members and supporters stood at the crest of the Georgia mountain known for its massive stone carving of Confederate leaders Jefferson Davis, Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee and hoisted their Rebel flags into the air.

As he drove into a parking lot just before the event, Chris Hill, the group's leader, listened to "Raise Your Battle Flag" by Celtic Confederate, a song that has become something of an anthem for him and for militias, pro-Confederate organizations and other alt-right groups across the South.

  1. Very impressive song. It sounds like it's based on Dougie MacLean's The Gael.
