Why don't we have a British flag flying over a memorial on the state grounds?
There were loyalists in SC who wanted the colonies to remain part of England. Those folks LOST their war. Just like the Confederates who wanted to break away lost theirs.
Why don't we honor the heritage of those whose family trees are of old British loyalists in SC? Its their heritage.

I woldn't lose sleep if British loyalists put up a flag on state grounds. Beats a tax hike or goverment raising my insurance premiums and deductible by a factor of 5.
If you had ancestors who fought in Civil War, maybe you would want to see them honored/rememberd in some way. It did happen, you can't wish it away.
Why are kids taught civil war history in governmnet run schools?

because if not for the Civil war there would be almost nothing of interest between the Mexican-American war and the Spanish-American war

Yep, sure would. By flying the American flag....the symbol of ALL the great and bad times this country has gone through.

It's because of cultural ties and closeness to that particular country/area. Is anyone rabidly proud of displaying their British heritage? It's hard to forsee anyone pushing for a flag atop the statehouse or having a memorial when we're too busy sipping sweet tea instead of hot tea. People feel closer to what they know and still are, southern. To me its all really a domestic display of heritage that Americans/southerners feel close to vs. celebrating being British. If we start with a British commemoration of loyalists on lets say, the state house grounds then we should also honor anyone in direct relation that fought at the battle of Iswandala (sp?) and other British conflicts (of which there are MANY, lol). I see what you're saying, but at the same time what's more relevant to this area? What is most recent (relatively)?
Interesting concept though. I think it'd be different and against the grain to put something like that up there. Maybe it could be done by Confederate Flag supporters so as to take away attention from the Confederate battle flag lol Alright, now I'm getting silly... Anyways!
I thought southerners got mocked for flying the American flag post 9-11. That was supposed to be redneck too.
only time leftwingers seem to support the American flag is when they are on the soapbox about this confederate flag phony issue.
There is only like 5 or 6 white people in SC, all Democrats and Gamecock fans, who care about this flag in SC. One of them is Ernest Hollings, who put it up on the state house to begin with.
