How many state capitals as recently as a few years ago were flying the Confederate flag over their state capital buildings right under the American flag?"

On a daily basis? None that I know of. Now true, some do fly it on some holidays. But that isn't the same thing.


I thought states like SC and Alabama flew the Confederate flag on a daily basis:

"IN 1962 the Confederate battle flag was placed on top of the South Carolina statehouse by vote of the all-white legislature. While other Southern states removed the flag from their statehouses, South Carolina refused to follow suit."

"On April 12, 2000, the South Carolina state senate finally passed a bill to remove the flag by a majority of 36-7."

Alabama stopped flying the Confederate flag on the State Capitol Dome in 1993:
