General Moultrie's Grave

William Moultrie's grave rests with Fort Moultrie on Sullivan's Island. Moultrie is remembered as a hero of South Carolina. The South Carolina flag today is based on the flag Moultrie designed and flew at the battle of Sullivan’s Island, with an added Palmetto tree placed in the center as a tribute to Moultrie. In 1802 he published Memoirs of the Revolution as far as it Related to the States of North and South Carolina, which became one of the best read and cited firsthand accounts of the American Revolution. Moultrie will never be thought of as a founding father like Washington, Adams, or Jefferson; however, he will be remembered as a founding father of the American south.
