South Carolina State House Dome

Two beautiful flags fly on top of State House Dome.  The first is the flag of the United States of America  and second is the South Carolina State Flag.  A few years back used to fly another flag, the Confederate battle flag; However this third flag seemed not to unite but divide our beautiful state. On July 1, 2000 the flag was removed from the South Carolina statehouse. We now display the the Confederate battle flag on a separate monument of the grounds of the State House.  I for one am glad this has happened.  When opposing groups are both upset with the decision It seems like a true compromise was made.  But what do I know I am just a dumb southerner (From Southern California that is)
