a copy of the letter was posted by a South Carolinian several months ago on another WBTS thread.
may i gently suggest that you go search for the copy & then come back here and tell all & sundry that you (as usual) have NO IDEA what you're prattling about AND that you are nothing more or less than a HATE-FILLED FOOL.
at that time, another poster said that JFK sent similar letters to all of the original 11 dixie states. (until the rise of the REVISIONISTS,almost NOBODY north or south in academia ever questioned that the WBTS was about freedom for dixie. when the TENS of THOUSANDS of damnyankee atrocities became widely known in the 1960s, the LEFT had to come up with an EXCUSE for what was done by the lincoln coven of CRIMINALS. "slavery was all" was that EXCUSE!)
you of course won't believe ANYTHING that disagrees with your STUPID & ARROGANT hatred/foolishness, born of KNOWING LIES from the LEFTIST/REVISIONISTS.
free dixie,sw
Again you prove you're the hate-filled fool. Here's the story:
Hollis remembers the day the Confederate flag was hoisted over the State House to commemorate the war. The centennial kicked off on April 11, 1961, with a re-creation of the firing on Fort Sumter. The flag went up for the opening celebrations.
"The flag is being flown this week at the request of Aiken Rep. John A. May," reported The State on April 12. May didn't introduce his resolution until the next legislative session. By the time the resolution passed on March 16, 1962, the flag had been flying for nearly a year. (This explains why the flag is often erroneously reported to have gone up in 1962).
"May told us he was going to introduce a resolution to fly the flag for a year from the capitol. I was against the flag going up," Hollis said, "but I kept quiet and went along. I didn't want to get into it with the UDC girls." The resolution that passed didn't include a time for the flag to come down and, therefore, "it just stayed up," Hollis said. "Nobody raised a question."
Hollis said he doesn't recall any racist or political overtones within the commission regarding the hoisting of the flag.
The day the Confederate flag went up over the State House, the opening ceremonies of the centennial in Charleston were marred by controversy. Newspapers reported the open and ugly feuding between South Carolina and the national Centennial Commission, calling it "the second battle of Fort Sumter."
The centennial delegations from New Jersey and Missouri included blacks who were refused entrance to the segregated Francis Marion Hotel, where the events were to be held. The South Carolina hosts refused to allow the black delegates to participate. In response, the Charleston NAACP organized protests.
The situation was only partially resolved when President John F. Kennedy issued an executive order moving the centennial meetings to the Charleston Navy Base, one of the few integrated facilities in town. South Carolina led the South in leaving the national commission, and holding its own segregated events in the hotel.
The dais in the ballroom of the Francis Marion was festooned with Confederate flags when Sen. John D. Long, who had sponsored resolutions that placed the flag over the House and Senate rostrums, warmed up the crowd: "Out of the dust and ashes of War with its attendant destruction and woe, came Reconstruction more insidious than war and equally evil in consequences, until the prostrate South staggered to her knees assisted by the original Ku Klux Klan and the Red Shirts who redeemed the South and restored her to her own."

You know, it's endlessly amusing when you demand documentation from others, while absolutely refusing to provide it yourself.
