El 1961, el Govern de l’Estat de Carolina del Sud va aprovar una llei que obliga que la bandera confederada ser volat en la planta del seu edifici del capitoli estatal. La llei va ser aprovada per commemorar el centenari de l’assalt de la guerra civil a Fort Sumter. Els opositors argumenten que la bandera és un símbol polític que representa la desigualtat racial i ha de ser retirat després de la mort a trets de nou membres de l’església afro-americans al juny de 2015. Els defensors argumenten que la bandera és un símbol històric important que commemora el paper de l’Estat en la Guerra Civil .
