South Carolina State Flag
| A short history of the South Carolina State flag | South Carolina was named after King Charles I of England. In 1629 he gave it to Robert Heath. During the Revolutionary War, the cap and badge of South Carolinian troops was a white crescent. This was placed on a blue background as the military flag. In 1776 during the British attack on a log fort in Charleston Harbor, the palmetto wood used in the fort's construction proved resilient, and then the tree was added to the flag as a tribute. |
