I hope it's not true, and from whatever i know of the SNP - which i support - it probably isn't. A lot of scots settled in Appalachia, and their descendents, like most 'volksschottische' :-) feel 'gey strang' ties to Alba. But the SNP is quite socialist and egalitarian, and the League of the South is not. The LotS might like an alliance with the SNP, but i'd be surprised if the SNP didn't run a mile at the idea.
I suspect it's more a case of the neoconfederates imagining that they can get pointers for their own break from the US union by watching the process Scotland will take to split from England. They may not realise that the UK charter of union provides specifically for such a dissolution, whereas the US Constitution does not.
