South Carolina State Flag | Official Symbol of the Palmetto State #246627 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white design features a white crescent moon in the upper left and a detailed Sabal palmetto tree at center-right, rooted firmly in the ground. The flag commemorates the 1776 defense of Sullivan’s Island, where a palmetto log fort withstood British cannon fire; the crescent represents the silver gorget worn by colonial troops.
