I visited Montgomery in the early 1990s. But have not been back since. I took a tour of the state capitol. I don't remember seeing this flag. I don't think the tour guide talked about it. If it was there, they certainly weren't making a big show out of its presence.

I do remember there being a marker at the top of the steps indicating where Jefferson Davis took the oath of office as President of the CSA. But you would have overlooked it if you weren't observant.

Wow, I remember a year or two ago Charleston was trying hard for a bowl game for the MAC vs Sunbelt, but wasn't allowed to have one because of NCAA & NAACP ban on South Carolina. I think the bowl game actually ended up becoming the Camellia bowl in Montgomery.
