Carolina Day 2007. Charleston, South Carolina.
Carolina Day 2007
Major General William Moultrie Statue Unveiling
Carolina Day is a day of recognition by South Carolinians for all the patriots who fought and died for American and South Carolina freedom. This year’s Carolina Day will be highlighted by the commemoration of the bravery and heroism of the leader of the Battle of Fort Sullivan, Major General William Moultrie.
On the morning of June 28, 1776, Colonel William Moultrie and a little over 400 foot soldiers repelled a massive attack on Charleston by the Royal Navy and the British Army. After a daylong battle, there were 230 British and only ten patriot casualties. The brave efforts of these South Carolinians boosted the morale of a nation. The call for Independence was heard through the land. Freedom was obtainable. The William Moultrie statue decorates the leader of these brave South Carolina heroes.
