Annie Caddell, a resident of the Summerville community in Brownsville, South Carolina, hung a Confederate naval jack on her porch next to an American flag, and in the yard, she had other Confederate paraphenialia. It sparked a peacefull protest by the rest of the community and other townspeople. On October 16th, the street in front of Caddells house was filled with protestors wanting her to take the flag down. At Caddells house, was the South Carolina chapter of the League of the South. One of the LOS most vocal members, H.K. Edgerton, was also present and defending Caddell saying “This flag is as much for any black man as for any white man.”
Caddell has refused to take down the flag, proclaiming that she has every right to fly the flag on her property. She says, “I will not take it to the back (yard) or will not take it down,” she said about the flag. “My intent was not to harm anybody; my intent was to live my life.”
