As part of the history of the great state of South Carolina the Confederate battle flag should continue to fly. This flag is a reminder of the bravery and tenacity of those who fought for the freedom of it's citizens against the invading north and should remain visible in order to act as a reminder of sovereignty all states, and hence their people enjoy above the power of the federal government.

As the fiance of a veteran and Native American this is a huge dishonor to all those soldiers that lost their lives in that war we have to keep that flag up there!!!

If people would read their history books, the civil war was not started over slavery. If we have to get rid of the flag, then we should get rid of the slave auction place in S.C. that is a historical site. You can't undo history.

Our flag should fly. It's all about history not being racist. We know why S.C. govern took it down, to have her name in the spotlight and the History books. There are statues of black people put up but the confederate flag and everything else of history is said needs to be put in a museum. No they want to destroy and do away with part of our History.

Taking down our flag away is like saying we have no right to bare children and have a family it's just not right and unfair!!

Keep the flying high southern pride

it stands for heritage not hate! As long as you wear your malcome X t-shirts I will fly my Confederate flag!

It has nothing to do with racism it is freedom is this not what all Americans want the reason millions come here to practice our freedom to be what we want to be to have what we want to have to fight for what we believe in!! Freedom has cost our country a lot!! And freedom does not come free. So as we allow the Muslims to practice their religion as the Catholics Hail Mary as the Jewish eat Kosher we should be able to fly the confederate flag as we please because it's our right as free people.!
