South Carolina State Flag - Official Design and Symbolism #246612 (License: Personal Use)

The South Carolina state flag displays a white crescent moon in the upper left corner and a white sabal palmetto tree centered on a solid blue field. The design commemorates the defense of Sullivan’s Island in 1776, where a palmetto log fort withstood British cannon fire; the crescent represents the gorget worn by soldiers of the Revolutionary War-era South Carolina militia.
