Even as a staunch Southerner who loves Southern culture and the South, the Confederate Battle flag should have been removed and have never returned once the Democrat KKK took them over as representatations of their racism. One of the other Confederate flags could have been used as historical symbols.
Wiki - Flags of the CSA
The statues of people who servied the South in the Civil War, generally speaking, were great Americans who served America before and after the war and believed in a voluntary union of states (sans the like of William Bedford Forrest who is highly represted in my home town). Apparently, they were wrong if we base it on who won the fight.
Either way, her move was right, but the timing was wrong, because that idiot shooter did not choose that church because of race; he chose it for an easy target when he saw that the local Univesity had armed police.

I'm not wild about Haley, but this is in her favor. The Confederate Flag is an abomination that has no place in civil society. It is the flag of human bondage, and while I believe people should be judged in the context of their times, the Confederacy fails that test. In 1833 Britain outlawed slavery. That was three decades before the American Civil War. Greece had already outlawed it. Western Civilization had long since deemed slavery as an abomination and the Confederacy would not give up this noxious inhuman policy.
Slavery in America before the early 1800's was understandable. It was the way the world always was - always and everywhere. By 1850 it was not okay.

South Carolina: 1860 - first state to secede from the Union due to an overreaching federal government ("But, but. but, slavery" remarks certain to be incoming) 2015 - first state to kowtow to those seeking to erase our nation's history You make a good point, 'Tide.
Missourians began the resistance against the federal government in1856, some kept resisting for years after the Civil War.
