3′ x 5′ South Carolina Flag: A Symbol of History and Heritage

The South Carolina flag, also known as the Palmetto Flag, is a symbol of rich history and heritage. Believed to have been originally designed in 1775 for use by South Carolinian troops during the American Revolutionary War, this flag has undergone transformations over time.

Design and Meaning

The blue color of the flag was borrowed from the militia’s uniforms, while the crescent was inspired by the emblem on their caps. The palmetto tree, which represents the defense of Fort Moultrie (constructed of palmetto logs) on Sullivan’s Island from British attack in June 1776, was added to the design later. This flag remained the official state flag even after the end of the American Civil War.

In 1776, during the American Revolutionary War, South Carolina patriots defended Fort Moultrie against British attack. The fort was constructed of palmetto logs, which were able to absorb the impact of British cannonballs, saving the fort from destruction. This heroic act is still celebrated today, and the palmetto tree has become a symbol of South Carolina’s strength and resilience.
