Your facts are somewhat off. The Confederate flag was put on the capitol dome underneath the American flag and the South Carolina state flag in 1964 as part of the 100th anniversary of the end of the Civil War. Fritz Hollins, a democrat, was our governor at the time and he authorized it.
Sen. Hollins said later, the flag was never meant to remain on the Capitol dome but to be a temporary acknowledgement.
Fast forward to 2015, the removal of the Confederate flag and what to do with was decided by a large group of people from diverse backgrounds.
The flag was removed and placed in front of the Capitol building and is much more prominent now than it ever was on the of the Capitol dome. There was a solemn ceremony complete with Civil War reenactors. It still flies there today.
