Many Donald Trump fans in South Carolina wish the South had won the Civil War

It turns out many of Donald Trump's South Carolina supporters are still a little sore about the outcome of the Civil War. A Public Policy Polling survey released Tuesday found that an entire 38 percent of Trump supporters in the state wish the South had won the war, with another 38 percent saying they "weren't sure" who should have won and just 24 thankful the Union was triumphant.

Unsurprisingly then, a whole 70 percent of Trump fans also thought the Confederate flag should still fly at their state capitol.

Trump's Southern supporters also tend to agree with his controversial plans involving Muslims, with 80 percent saying they support banning Muslims from entering the United States. Another 62 percent of Trump's supporters in South Carolina think the U.S. needs a national database of Muslims; a third of his supporters said practicing Islam should be illegal altogether.
