South Carolina State Flag - Official Design, History & Symbolism #1908695 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of South Carolina consists of a deep blue field with a white crescent moon in the upper left corner and a white sabal palmetto tree centered on the right. The design originates from the Revolutionary War era, symbolizing resilience-the palmetto tree commemorates the 1776 defense of Sullivan’s Island, where palmetto logs absorbed British cannon fire. The crescent moon is derived from the uniforms of South Carolina troops during that battle.
