your5best | COLUMBIA STATE HOUSE - South Carolina Capital Building Drone Video @freshishealthy | Uploaded July 2019 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Built in 1875 to replace the old State House which was destroyed in the 'Burning of Columbia' during the Civil War, this 130,000 square feet building houses the General Assembly (state representative body), and offices of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor.
It was designated a national historic landmark in 1976 for its incredible roots in the Civil War, Reconstruction Era and Civil Rights activity. Since then, a confederate battle flag flew on the building's dome until being removed in 2015 amid contentious protests.
The grounds now feature 13 statues and monuments, including those of George Washington, confederate soldiers, and African Americans. Regardless of political beliefs, the grounds are incredibly beautiful and well-kept. Definitely worth a visit when in Columbia.
Our video was featured in episode two of the documentary 'AMEND', about the 14th amendment! The series is absolutely incredible - watch it on Netflix now!
