The Christian Exodus Movement, founded by Cory Burnell in 2003, aimed to relocate conservative Christians to South Carolina to form an independent country based on Christian principles.[1][2][3][4]

Background

[edit]

It was inspired by movements like the Free State Project.[5] Its goal was to exert local political influence and ultimately establish a theocratic state that could consider secession from the United States.[6][7][8][9][10][11]
