>> And to replace it with what? <<

See post #21. The 1861 Palmetto Flag would be far more appropriate if the state wants to honor South Carolina "history". The Confederate Battle Flag wasn't put there until the 1960s. South Carolina never flew it during the civil war.

I am of the opinion that the particular flag in question should be allowed to stay unless the legislature votes for its removal according to the law. However in the event it is removed, I agree that the 1861 Palmetto Flag would be a very appropriate replacement.

You are full of it. The flag was flown by numerous South Carolina regiments, including my g-g-grandfather's:
