South Carolina State Seal

  
 
 
 
South Carolina State Seal


        The South Carolina State seal is often seen, but never understood. One rarely stops to ask what the elegant woman to the right or the subtle fallen oak to the left symbolize. However, they are very important, and today I will attempt to answer those unasked questions.
    The stately palmetto tree symbolizes a successful 1776 defense of Fort Moultrie against a British fleet. The defeated fleet is represented by the fallen oak at the palmetto's base. The two shields hanging below the  branches of the palmetto display the dates of the ratification of the state's first constitution and the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Behind the tree are crossed bundles of spears which represent the 12 colonies that signed the Declaration on July 4, 1776.The inscription Meliorem Lapsa Locavit (having fallen it has set up better) sits below the fallen oak. To the right is a woman walking over swords and daggers on the sea shore, representing Hope overcoming dangers. In her hand is a laurel branch which symbolizes the honors at Fort Moultrie. The oval surrounding the palmetto tree (left)is inscribed on the top "South Carolina" and on the bottom, " Animis Opibusque Parati." The latter inscription is the less common of two state mottos, meaning "Prepared in mind and resources." The oval surrounding the woman on the seashore (right) bears the engraving "Dum Spiro Spero," the more commonly known state motto meaning, "While I breathe, I hope."

  1. Unfortunately there are a lot of AIDS/Herpes denials on Herbal cures still out there. I did research on them after I was tested HIV/Herpes positive I was so worried am I going to die soon. I continue my search again on herbal remedy for Std, then I found lots of testimony on how Dr Itua Herbal Medicine Cured HIV/Aids, Herpes Virus,Copd, Hepatitis, Diabetes, On websites sharing their testimonies, which made much more sense to me. All the authors pronounce Dr Itua As a man with Good Heart, I pick interest in their testimonies and I contact him about my situation then he gave me procedure how it works, I proceed after one week he courier his Herbal Medicine to me and instruct me on how to drink it for two weeks to cure. I receive His Herbal Medicine so I drank it for two weeks as I was told then after 2 days I go for a test I found out I was cured from HIV/Aids & Herpes Virus, I pay homage to him 2 months ago to his country to celebrate with him on his African festival which he told me it usually happens every year. I know there are lots of (HIV)/Aids&Herpes Virus denials of Herbal Remedy movement the same few doctors and they represent a very small faction of the community. I could have died because I refused Natural Herbs Cures for so long, but luckily, by the grace of God I am alive to tell my story.
