US museum rejects monument to mark secession

A South Carolina museum has voted against erecting a Civil War monument to the state's secession from the Union almost 150 years ago.

The board of the Patriots Point Development Authority on Tuesday split 3-3 on whether to allow the Sons of Confederate Veterans to place a granite monument to the signers of the secession ordinance at the maritime museum. The tie killed the proposal.
