Hi Tom,

Who is the "State of SC" that says the flag flying at the firing on the Star of the West was the Secession flag?

I am a proud South Carolinian and I dearly love my state, but.....my state's official .gov webpage in the "Kid Pages" section doesn't even have a CORRECT picture of our state flag. That "flag" they show IS NOT our state flag! So please understand my hesitation in taking anything the "State of SC" says as the gospel.

Sorry for the "hollering" with the CAPS, but goodness it just gets my goat (and speaking of goats, isn't that what a "kid" is?)
