One can drive down just about any road in SC and you'll eventually encounter a confederate flag or two, three etc. I can step out my door and see my neighbor's if I'm paying attention to it. FOR FREE!!! Spending $5 million dollars to display that rag is a waste our tax dollars, state resources. How about South Carolina putting the South's surrender document on display instead? The official surrender document of Lee's troops to the Union Army, signed at the Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865: We, the undersigned Prisoners of War, belonging to the Army of Northern Virginia, having been this day surrendered by General Robert E. Lee, CSA, Commanding said Army, to Lieut. Genl. U. S. Grant, Commanding Armies of United States, do hereby give our solemn parole of honor that we will not hereafter serve in the armies of the Confederate States, or in any military capacity whatever, against the United States of America, or render said to the enemies of the latter, until property exchanged, in such manner as shall be mutually approved by the respective authorities. Done at Appomattox Court House, Va., this 9th day of April, 1865. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/primary-resources/lee-surrender/ Warmest regards, Mr. Michael L. Long
