"California, the nation's most populous state, led the nation with 84 hate groups last year according to the SPLC, followed by Georgia with 65, Florida with 55 and New Jersey with 47."
Brian Levin, J.D.: U.S. Hate And Extremist Groups Hit Record Levels, New Report Says
"Confederate" states are not in the lead.
"Perhaps more disturbing than the small, yet sustained rise in hate groups, is the parabolic growth over the last few years in the number of anti-government "Patriot" and militia groups reported by the SPLC. These groups, which are categorized separately from hate groups, grew 55% to 1,274 in 2011, up from 824 in 2010. In 2008 such groups totaled only 149, while in 2009 the total increased to 512. Michigan had the largest number of "Patriot" groups with 79, followed by Texas with 76, California with 59 and Washington State, with 50."

Again, Confederate states are not in the lead.
they're hate groups... with specific hatred toward any form of "government". and corporations.
not to be confused with what the citizens and state governments want. Texas and the Confederate states have very strong sectionalism feeling. big difference.
