Historic Battle of Sullivan's Island On June 28, 1776, just days before the Declaration of Independence, British forces launched a massive assault on a palmetto log fort on Sullivan's Island, South Carolina, commanded by Colonel William Moultrie. Despite being outnumbered and outgunned, the American defenders repelled the British fleet in a stunning victory that boosted colonial morale and delayed British operations in the South for years. The Flag's Heroic Moment During the intense battle, a British cannonball shot away the flagstaff, and the flag fell outside the fort walls. Serg
