The Confederate flag will return to the S.C. State House.
The S.C. Secessionist Party plans to raise the banner during a rally.
Secessionist Party founder James Bessenger said, “We do it to honor those who left their homes, left their families, stood on bloody battlefields and sacrificed their lives for the sake of the people of South Carolina,” said Bessenger, who said his party has about 2,100 members. “They deserve honor, our gratitude and and our states’ respect.”
Several S.C. lawmakers said Thursday they saw no reason to stop the Secessionist Party from raising the Confederate flag banished after five decades at the State House.
“They have the right of free expression”, said state Sen. Chip Campsen, a Charleston Republican.
House Speaker Pro Tempore Tommy Pope, a Republican, compared the Civil War to the Vietnam War – a pair of conflicts that were not widely popular. “There were people who answered the call to serve regardless if not everyone agreed on the reasons,” he said.
