Official statement from SC Division Commander

June 19, 2015

On the night of June 17, 2015, an attempt was made to break the spirit of all South Carolinians.
The deranged mind of a horrendous individual, entered Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, and took the lives of nine admirable individuals. This historic House of God became the scene of a brutal massacre beyond understanding. We all contemplate, why did this happen?

Perhaps this is a question that cannot be answered. What kind of a world are we leaving behind for our children, when you can’t go into God’s House without the threat of being gunned down? This is, in fact a crime of hate and an act of terrorism. It is reported that the culprit’s craving was to bring about “civil” war and division between Black and White citizens of the Palmetto State. This did not happen. We will not allow it to happen. South Carolinians will stand together hand in hand regardless of race, creed, or skin color to prevent it from happening. South Carolina will not cower to the evil deeds of one hateful being.

The Sons of Confederate Veterans extends our heartfelt sympathy to the families who have lost loved ones in this tragedy. We stand with the citizens of Charleston as they come together to mourn the loss of these beloved individuals. We pray that God will grant them comfort and peace during this time of despair. Emanuel Church proclaims compassion, peace, and justice throughout the historic Grand City of the South. This congregation stands for what is right and is a force against evil. Hatred has reared its ugly face in our country masquerading as political correctness. What God has ordained as righteous and just will always be righteous and just. What God has ordained as evil will always be evil. No man, government, or principality has authority to change the will of God.
Hatred is evil. Recent acts in Charleston are just plain evil. South Carolinians have chosen to defeat evil by offering love and support of each other, rather than disobedience, distrust and destruction. Disobedience and destruction only breeds yet more hatred and evil.

Historical fact shows there were Black Confederate soldiers. These brave men fought in the trenches beside their White brothers, all under the Confederate Battle Flag. This same Flag stands as a memorial to these soldiers on the grounds of the SC Statehouse today. The Sons of Confederate Veterans, a historical honor society, does not delineate which Confederate soldier we will remember or honor. We cherish and revere the memory of all Confederate veterans. None of them, Black or White, shall be forgotten.

The SC Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans has a stringently enforced Hate Policy. We will remove any member who expresses racist hatred sentiments. Anyone with ties to racist organizations will not be granted membership. The perpetrator of the vile act in Charleston has never been a member or associated with the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Unfortunately some other subversive organizations distort Confederate symbols in an attempt to make them stand for hatred and disillusion. The SCV vehemently opposes the ideals and actions of such organizations.
The Sons of Confederate Veterans has both Black and White members. In our eyes there is no difference. Our membership is made up of descendants of Native-Americans, African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Hispanics, Christians and Jewish who took a stand for the Cause they believed was right. The love and defense of the South’s symbols, culture, and heritage is not hate. It is knowing and understanding of the truth.

Not knowing your heritage is ignorance.

Our organization offers to everyone the opportunity to learn the true facts of the war fought on American soil between 1861-1865 and the heritage we value. That is why we exist. Our camps are listed on our website, www.scscv.com on our About Us Page. This is your invitation to attend any of our meetings.
It is shameful and disgraceful that other organizations chose to use this heinous act to promote their political agenda. Do not associate the cowardly actions of a racist to our Confederate Banner; for it is a Banner of honorable men, both Black and White.

There is absolutely no link between The Charleston Massacre and The Confederate Memorial Banner. Don’t try to create one.

YOU are the only bigot here, looking to start trouble with the folks from the South. This was simply a message from a group that memorializes these veterans and can speak about who was in the war that carried the flag, more than your average person. But you just want to sit back and call anyone a racist that dares discuss the flag or anyone who may support it, or the veterans. Trolling with a facade is all it is.

Find one. The son of a slave owner. The fact is the war was fought over the 10th Amendment, not slavery as you brainwashed chuckleheads would continuing brainwashing others to believe.

The war was about States' Rights, power in Congress and money. Nobody, North or South but the few mutton-headed morons like Lincoln was going to fight a war over slavery. It was a symptom the US has jumped on and proclaimed the disease and it's a bullshit lie.

Incorrect.


While many still debate the ultimate causes of the Civil War, Pulitzer Prize-winning author James McPherson writes that, "The Civil War started because of uncompromising differences between the free and slave states over the power of the national government to prohibit slavery in the territories that had not yet become states.
When Abraham Lincoln won election in 1860 as the first Republican president on a platform pledging to keep slavery out of the territories, seven slave states in the deep South seceded and formed a new nation, the Confederate States of America.
The incoming Lincoln administration and most of the Northern people refused to recognize the legitimacy of secession. They feared that it would discredit democracy and create a fatal precedent that would eventually fragment the no-longer United States into several small, squabbling countries."

Want to bet? I'm more than willing to take your money.

The largest chapter of the Klan was in Indianapolis. The most racist people I've ever met in my life are from Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Kansas and Nebraska.

So tuck you mouth back into your ass and lie to someone who will believe it.

You know what's wrong with Southern blacks? They're still waiting on all those promises you leftwingers have made them. It ain't because WE give a damn about who they are. It's all about you promising them shit for votes you have yet to ante up on. They're dumb for believing you, since no one else does, and you're dumb for continuing the charade.

You reap what you sow.


You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will. War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it; and those who brought war into our country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour out. I know I had no hand in making this war, and I know I will make more sacrifices to-day than any of you to secure peace. But you cannot have peace and a division of our country. If the United States submits to a division now, it will not stop, but will go on until we reap the fate of Mexico, which is eternal war.

If you bothered studying, you would know that most Southerners couldn't afford slaves. You would further know that very few Confederate Soldiers families could afford slaves. I thought it was against your ideology to disparage the poor.

Facts:

1. Lincoln never started warmongering due to slavery but the slave issue was a good ploy.

2. On a significant scale, Jackson proved how tyrannical the "Union" could be and how money talks and $#!T walks.

3. The "UNION" considered the UNION States to the NE as superior to the Southern States (much like King George).

4. Unfair taxation and a good portion of what we see today was the root cause for declarations made to withdraw from the Union.

5. And this is to Gabs too much.....most of those fighting on both sides cared little to nothing about slavery. Only sad truth and difference was that those fighting for the South were fighting tyranny and those fighting for the North were Irish SLAVES who were forced to fight while the wealthy never had to leave NY, Boston or other present day cesspools.

Heck, even other blacks dreamed of the day that they could buy their own freedom and own slaves. Slavery would have ended as technology improved.....just as slavery ended in the North once they phased out of their need or want for slaves. Many slaves actually had it much worse after they were freed to starve and work under God-awful conditions. I believe GUNNY has touched on this numerous times and although I'm not sure if we are exactly on the same page, I believe some of his argument is that slaves had a much better family unit, moral compass and security while under the rule of their master.....and make no bones about it Yanks & libs watch WAY too much TV!!! If you bought an expensive horse...you take REAL GOOD CARE of that horse.....unlike what TV shows or what libs would have everyone believe about the South being more racist. It aint true!!! I've found yanks to be more racist and libs would never see this or own up to it but THEY are the most racist bunch in our society with one goal in mind......ENSLAVE US ALL TO THEIR WILL AND THEIR PERVERSIONS. History may actually be repeating itself!!!!

Gunny, THEY make up crap all the time out of ignorance and/or hatred. Look at this map:

It tries to suggest that CHICAGO is less than average but I'd like to suggest that the survey "technician" jog some particular streets in Chicago at night to get a true reading. And pay especially close attention to how they marked Indiana (which is opposite to what you claim). I'll say you are spot on about that one just by referencing the map alone. Heck, they have my area as a hot bed for racism.....and nothing could be further from the truth. For pete's sake; my dad rents to a nice lady that is not of our "race" and we are as Conservative as it gets (and we all know how racist Conservatives are).

Again, this flag is a symbol that many BRAVE men carried on the battle field & we reverence it for that reason with no 'racism' or ill will to the USA.

And yankees just called it something else but their sweatshops and mines were more brutal than any Southern slave had it into the 1900s. Three families per one room tenement and 16 hour days for anyone over the age of 8. "Slavery" was a word. It was a means of breaking Southern power. Yankees wanted what we have but not us and they used the military to dispossess us from it.

Wrong. No comparison between the South and Germany. Want to play?

The South fought nothing but a defensive war until Antietem. US aggression dictated the first 3 years of the war. Germany, on the other hand, was completely aggressive, invading country after country.

Actually the Constitution itself grants them their "perversity," as in life, liberty, property/pursuit of happiness. The 14th just reminds us of the unconstitutional nature of marriage in the first place.

Marriage was never meant to be Constitutional. The state controls it for the purpose of taxation. But it's okay if the state intrudes on the church. Just not the other way around.
