The 33-star U. S. Flag flew at Fort Sumter during the
opening battle of the Civil War. The stars represented
even those states that had seceded from the Union.
The Stars and Bars was the first national flag of the Confederate
States of America. Its seven stars represented the
seven states that had seceded by March, 1861, when the
flag was adopted.
The Palmetto Flag was adopted as the official state flag
for South Carolina on January 26, 1861. The palmetto tree
commemorated the role of Fort Moultrie in the first major
naval defeat of the British in the American Revolution.
