Colonel William Moultrie of the South Carolina militia commanded the Patriots on Sullivan's Island. You can read about the battle here. As a result of his victory against overwhelming odds, the fort was named Fort Moultrie in his honor.
During the battle, the Patriots' spirits reportedly were flagging when the British shot down their flag. Sergeant William Jasper heroically grabbed the flag and held it up until a new flag staff could be mounted. His action brought new life to the fort's defenders and he has been immortalized throughout American history as a hero.
