South Carolina State Flag - Official Design and Symbolism #3566469 (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 navy blue field. The design dates to the American Revolutionary War era, symbolizing resilience-particularly referencing the 1776 defense of Sullivan’s Island, where palmetto logs absorbed British cannon fire. The crescent is believed to derive from the uniforms of South Carolina troops during that conflict.
