The 2nd of South Carolina, led by Colonel William Moultrie was ordered in March of 1776 to occupy Sullivan's Island at the mouth of Charleston Harbor. In June of 1776 ten British vessels armed with over 250 cannons and a force of 3,000 men attacked. With a garrison of only 344 regulars and a few volunteer militia, Moultrie repulsed the attack. The British lost two ships and over 250 men killed.

Continental Grand Union

#A263

Shown here is the Liberty flag, one of the many variations of "The Continental Grand Union". Unfortunately they were almost all identical to the British ensign; therefore when Washington first raised the flag in Boston, the British assumed the Americans were surrendering. Washington was mortified and gave orders that henceforth, the flag should only be flown on special occasions. Sometime later Washington adopted the flag with the red and white stripes and white stars on a blue background.
