SC Secession Convention Banner
Built From The Ruins. Banner of the South Carolina Secession Convention. The base of the design was a mass of broken and disordered blocks of stone, on each of which were the name and arms of a free-labor State. Rising from this mass were two columns of perfect and symmetrical blocks of stone, connected by an arch of the same material, on each of which, fifteen in number, were seen the name and coat of arms of a slave-labor State. South Carolina formed the key-stone of the arch, on which stood a statue of Calhoun leaning upon a trunk of a palmetto-tree, and holding a scroll bearing the words Truth, Justice, and the Constitution. On each side of the statue were allegorical figures of Faith and Hope. Beyond each of these was a North American Indian with a rifle. In the space formed by the two columns and the arch was the device of the seal and flag of South Carolina - a palmetto-tree, with a rattlesnake coiled around its trunk, and at its base a park of cannon and some emblems of State commerce. On a ribbon fluttering from the body of the tree were the words Southern Republic. Over the whole design were fifteen stars in the segment of a circle. Underneath all, in large letters, were the words Built from the Ruins. South Carolina, USA, circa 1860. (Photo by Fotosearch/Getty Images)
