The April 4, 2002 release of the Greetings From America sheet marked the first time a U.S. postage stamp was issued on the same day in every state.
The Greetings from America stamps are reminiscent of the large-letter greetings postcards that vacationing tourists of the 1930s and 1940s sent back home. In addition to the state name, each stamp contains images identified with that state.
South Carolina was the first state to secede from the Union. The first shot of the Civil War was fired at Fort Sumter, South Carolina, April 12, 1861.
The state bird, flower, tree, capital, and date of statehood appear on the back of the liner release paper.
This is the fifth U.S. pane of 50 different stamps. The first to be issued was the State Flags pane in 1976, in honor of the nation’s bicentennial.
