some know that the State began to fly it as a protest to the Civil Rights movement. I have this info from a relative who lives in South Carolina, and I just spent two months there myself.

I live here all the time, all my life. I know that it was raised for the 100th anniversary of the War of Northern Agression. While there was a provision to put it up, there was no provision to take it down. So it stayed there until July 2000.

I stand corrected, although I'm sure there were some who actually saw it as a protest of Civil Rights...but you're right, it was raised to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the War of Northern Aggression, or as some still refer to it, The Recent Unpleasantness. As I have told several in your fair state, I may have been born a Yankee, but my sympathies have always been with the South. I mean every word of that, and no, I'm not a racist. Actually, I would love to move to South Carolina, as I thoroughly enjoyed my visit there. I worked there for 2 months on a computer project, and I was blessed by the politeness, kindness, and genuine welcome I received.
