A Knox County Indiana official says a replica of an early Confederate flag that was displayed near a Civil War monument in Vincennes has been removed. Commissioners President Kellie Streeter says that the commissioners were not fully aware that the flag near the monument outside the county courthouse represented the Confederacy. It was removed and replaced with an Indiana state flag. Streeter says it had been there due to misunderstandings about its origins.
