On July 10, 2015, after years of controversy, the Confederate flag was finally removed from the South Carolina statehouse grounds. Much more quietly, the flag had also been removed from a memorial on the grounds of this state's capitol - which once served as the Confederate capitol - on June 24, 2015, after the state's governor, finding that (unlike in South Carolina) there was no law requiring the flag to stay up, ordered its removal.
