PALMETTO PARTISANS
     Welcome to the Palmetto Partisans website.  Our organization maintains our own unique set of by-laws and membership requirements.  Our members reside exclusively within the state of South Carolina.
      Our primary mission is the defense of our Confederate heritage and Southern culture, whenever they are under attack, as well as the ideals which our Confederate ancestors so valiantly defended.  Although Southern Gentlemen by nature, we will stand united, ready, and able to concentrate that defense of our Southern heritage anytime and anywhere in the state of South Carolina.  We as members of the Palmetto Partisans have chosen to conduct these defensive operations from the saddles of our motorcycles.  Like the Partisan Rangers who rode before us, many of our operations remain covert.

The oldest symbol of South Carolina, predating even the Palmetto tree, is the crescent. When South Carolina seceded from the union on December 20, 1860, this flag was raised over the Customs House in Charleston. This flag was aslo later used on the blockade runner, Dixie.
This earlier version of our Sovereignty Flag was raised over Alumni Hall at Yale University by Southern sympathizers on January 20, 1861, as a show of support for our cause.
South Carolina's State Sovereignty Flag
This variation of the Confederate 1st National Flag bears the motto of South Carolina, animis opibusque parati (prepared in mind and resources).
Big Red was the flag of the South Carolina Military Institute, later known as The Citadel, and still flies there today.
