Spartanburg County, South Carolina (WSPA) – A large Confederate flag hoisted along Interstate 85 in Spartanburg County draws a lot of attention.
7NEWS did some checking and found that the Confederate flag was owned by the sons of Confederate veterans.
Although it is not illegal to carry the Confederate flag, Spartanburg County leader David Bullitt said the flagpole “regulates the use of flagpoles and other accessories on land that has no primary use” in 1999. He said he violated the land use ordinance.
Bullitt said flagpoles without principles are not allowed in Spartanburg County.
The son of a Confederate veteran is quoted.
