Sullivan, Fort
The former name of Fort Moultrie.
On the morning of July 30, 1776, General Lee reviewed the garrison of Fort Sullivan, and bestowed on them marked praise for their valor and fortitude in its defence.
At the same time Mrs. Susanna Elliot, young and beautiful, with the women of Charleston, stepped forth and presented to Moultrie's regiment a pair of silken colors, one of blue, the other of crimson, both richly embroidered by their own hands.
In a low, sweet voice, Mrs. Elli as long as they can wave in the air of liberty.
On receiving them Moultrie said: The colors shall be honorably supported, and shall never be tarnished.
On the morning of July 4 Governor Rutledge visited the garrison, and in the name of South Carolina thanked them; and to Sergeant Jasper he offered a lieutenant's commission and a sword.
The sergeant refused the former, but accepted the latter.
The fort on Sullivan's Island which Moultrie had so gallantly defended was renamed Fort Moultrie.
