A minor point, which has no bearing upon the validity of your position: the issue in South Carolina has to do with whether the Confederate battle flag should continue to fly, with the US and state flags, over the SC Capitol. The South Carolina flag, fortunately, has not been subjected to the fate of its Georgia counterpart (I am not familiar with the Mississippi flag). It is a strikingly simple and beautiful banner. I suspect the Georgia flag was, too, in in its day.
