I'm so happy that you posted this picture because for the longest time I have wondered what it means. Silly, I know, but I see this symbol on the back of cars all the time. What is the significance in this picture?

This is the SC state flag. It is probably safe to say that almost all South Carolinians think it is the coolest state flag in the country.

The scene relates to a battle between SC and Britian during the Revolutionary War when the walls of Fort Moultre, build from Palmetto trees (the tree shown), basically absorbed or bounced off cannon balls shot by the British.

During the Revolutionary War, SC militia held back the British from attacking Charleston at an outpost on Sullivan's Island, Fort Moultrie. The fort was bombarded by the British by sea, however since the fort was build from the local palmetto trees that are very fiberous (think coconut husks) many of the cannon balls just bounced off the fort and bullets were adsorbed without penetrating the trees. The Brits turned back. There was not another attempted invasion of the South for 2 more years. The crescent moon comes from protesters of the stamp act in 1765, who were protesting British taxation. It is surprising that the tea baggers have not snatched the flag up as a symbol.
