Blease Urges Broad Pension Reform for Confederate Veterans
Governor Cole L. Blease releases a message to the South Carolina General Assembly advocating targeted pensions for Confederate veterans, separating eligible old soldiers from ineligible recipients, and criticizing the Confederate Home in Columbia. He calls for ending county and state disbursement middlemen, tightening admission rules, and ensuring funds go to deserving veterans, not to in-law or dependent pensioners. He also opposes pensions for women who married veterans after the war to share in their pensions, except for the veteran’s widow. The message, dated January 23, 1914, records his positions after a conference with a veterans committee from Aiken.
