The Fort Moultrie
$1,100.00
Description
This flag was first flown over an island fort built by General William Moultrie near Charleston, South Carolina and reflects the desire by the American colonists for divinely inspired Liberty. The American forces defending the fort wore a silver crescent on their caps emblazoned with “Liberty or Death,” and the Moultrie design was the first American flag flown in the Southern states.
The fort was built out of the materials at hand – palmetto logs and sand – and came under heavy British naval bombardment on June 28th, 1776. The flag was shot away in the withering fire, but the fort – and the spirit of the defenders – did not yield.
The design was adopted by the Minute Men of South Carolina. Variations of this design were used throughout the American Revolutionary War and had a strong influence on the design that became the state flag of South Carolina.
