I'm from North Carolina but was stationed in Charleston for a time in the Navy.

As I remember the association of the crescent and palmetto with South Carolina predate the Republic.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

Oh Heck! My fault. I was thinking you are in South Carolina.
(Your screen name, I guess. Also you are rather famous as the broken glass Republican)
I thought a person from South Carolina would find this kind of humorous.
That flag has had the crescent on it as far back as I remember.

Yes it does and all South Carolinians carry it in their heart with pride.

South Carolina also contributed another flag and that was the Gadson flag - Don’t Tread on Me. A yellow background with a Rattlesnake on it that was used doing the Revolution.

I’m proud to be a Sandlapper and especially from the low country.
