Miss Carolina Sulivan personifies South Carolina as one of the "obstinate daughters of America," and her title names Sullivan's Island, where a British naval attack failed in June 1776. The palmetto-log fort there held off the fleet, a rare early victory for the rebels and a setback for the Crown. Published by Mary Darly on September 1, 1776, and attributed to Matthew Darly, the etching uses the satirical female figure common in British prints of the American war to mock colonial defiance.
