Confederate graves at the Old Sheldon Church ruins in Yemassee, South Carolina were recently robbed. Three Southern Crosses of Honor, which were recently placed at the historical headstones to honor the dead, were removed from the graves. The crosses are valued at around $200, but the graves’ caretaker believes that the thieves’ agenda was political. Officials are investigating the theft, which is the most recent incident in a long history of vandalism of the graves.
