South Carolina - what is it?
The state we live in. Sometimes we hate it, sometimes we love it. Statistically, it sucks.
Where we live (in the upstate), yes, it is populated by hicks who tote guns, stack junk cars by the hundreds in their front yards, and give 10% of their income to their local baptist church to get the preacher a new gas-guzzling SUV.
The lowcountry, however, is quite charming, from what we've seen.
All we have to say is thank god for Mississippi.
What does "South Carolina" mean?
The most schizophrenic state in the lower 48. Characterized by randomly friendly people in certain counties followed by homicidal rednecks ready to shoot the first person who crosses the tire swing in the front yard.
No federal highway taxes, shitty highways, no state inspections, the country's highest insurance rates, the worst DMV east of the Mississippi, and a Governor using state money to fly to rail his South American mistress. Does it get any better than this?
But also a beautiful state, amazing scenery and mountains, as well as beaches, and nonetheless, some of the most beautiful women in the United States.
The second craziest state, second ONLY to the People's Republic of California.
The Governator should come run for election here in South Carolina. He just might feel at home.
South Carolina - what does it mean?
South Carolina, you may think it's entirely full of rednecks and well....people in touch with their more primative roots. And you'd be mostly right. However, most of the Lowcountry is nothing like this. Charleston, Beaufort, and Hilton Head are super nice places with a calm laid back atmosphere, nice beaches, and nice people.
Jennie and Molly went downtown to King Street to eat lunch, get a drink at Starbucks, and pick up a new Lacoste Shirt

South Carolina - definition
A state of the union locate North of Georgia and south of North Carolina. The state was on of the original thirteen colonies. The first charter was made by the eight lord's proprietors who where being rewarded for the restoring of King Charles II to the throne. Afterward the proprietary government was overthrown due to colonist ill feelings for the support of the eight who they thought where protecting them. A first in a long line of South Carolinian rebellion for superiors.
The port of Charleston was the largest port in the thirteen colonies at the begging of the 1700s (was soon out done by Philadelphia). There also was a large percent of Scot-Irish who immigrated to South Carolina from Britain to escape religious persecution. These hardy pioneers where the people who helped colonize the back country (north eastern part of the state).
During and around the revolution there where only a few people in the state who opposed Britain, most notably Christopher Gadsden. But the British realized there where many loyalist in the state and knew their best chances was to wage the war there, which led to the three attempts to capture Charleston, which succeeded on the third try. But after Tarelton's massacre in the Waxhaw's the Scots Irish strongly opposed British sentiment and helped renew vigor in the rebellion.
If it not been for Francis Marion (the swamp fox) and a couple of others we could not have kept Cornwallis's army from going North and crushing Washington and the Continental army.
After the war was over many Scots-Irish wish to punish the Loyalist by taking their land and their fortunes. However the man who had sparked anti-Anglo feelings also worked to help those who remained loyal to the crown :Christopher Gadsden. Many loyalist returned to England and few stayed afterwards.
And several decades latter South Carolina was the main contributor to the Mexican-American war. 46 percent of the army where native South Carolinians. And tons of money was contributed from many South Carolina citizens who donated to local churches who encouraged them to do so.
I'm sure many of you know South Carolina in the civil war so I'm going to skip that.
Yes South Carolina has a great history now lets look at the modern era.
The upper part of South Carolina like many people think is where the litter flows. Litter lines the streets of many cities, but many people are starting to get greener there and making anti-littler programs. Most of the people from the Up country are generally what people would call hicks. However they are not dumb country bumpkins (like stereotypes), they now whats going on but seem to have a huge patriot sentiments ad hoc all the American flags hanging from peoples homes.
The people from the Charleston and coastal area are held by most to be the more sophisticated. Which I say is true in many respects as they have more colleges and more lucrative market trade and such. It is also the "Bread basket" where all the Carolina gold is grown aka Free Grown Rice. What also makes this area unique is that it is the only 1 of the lower 48 that can grow the tea plant.
All in all South Carolina is a great state. Proud history, nice people, and tons of tourism. I'm proud to be a South Carolinian.
Go South Carolina, home of the GameCocks.
