Asked by the Revolutionary Council of Safety in the fall of 1775 to design a flag

matched the color of their uniforms and a crescent which reproduced the silver
emblem worn on the front of their caps. |

The palmetto tree was added later to represent the heroic defense by Moultrie of
the palmetto-log fort on Sullivan's Island against the attack of the British fleet
on June 28, 1776. |
