One of the key flags in American history is the “Moultrie Flag,” which flew during the American Revolution over Fort Moultrie on Sullivan’s Island. Here it is flying on Church Street in downtown Charleston.
This was the flag (although the word “Liberty” may actually have been printed on the crescent in the original flag) which was raised by Sergeant Jasper to rally the troops after it had been shot down. It also became the basis for the current state flag.
