South Carolina by Joshua Brown May 1, 2023 89 South Carolina is a state located in the southeastern United States. It is bordered by North Carolina to the north, Georgia to the southwest and Atlantic Ocean on its eastern border. The capital city of South Carolina is Columbia, while its largest city is Charleston. The first European settlers of modern-day South Carolina were Spanish explorers in 1526 who named it La Florida after their arrival at what would become St Augustine, Florida; however they did not settle there permanently. In 1663 England took control over much of present day southeastern America including parts of what are now known as Virginia and North and South Carolina which remained under British rule until 1776 when it declared independence from Great Britain along with other colonies during the American Revolution becoming one of the original thirteen states that formed together as part of this movement for freedom from colonial rule. In 1861, during the Civil War era, South Carolina was one of eleven states that seceded from Union forces and joined Confederate troops leading up to battles such as Fort Sumter near Charleston Harbor where shots opened fire between federal ships versus southern land batteries bringing about an official start date for war efforts against each other across divided lines throughout America’s history books thereafter. After Reconstruction following this period ended many African Americans lost voting rights due largely because Jim Crow laws became established within Southern society creating racial segregation policies more widely accepted than before – but despite these conditions progress still came forth slowly over time eventually culminating into today’s diverse atmosphere both politically speaking economically alike thanks primarily through tourism driven initiatives like Myrtle Beach Resort Area attracting millions annually since 1970s onward helping create jobs too thus enabling families (in particular those often overlooked) live better lives all around here or elsewhere if preferred so long term success stories have been able achieve overall in years past till current days ahead going forward optimistically enough perhaps even beyond our wildest dreams given proper care taken place appropriately regarding various matters discussed above plus few others yet mentioned below no doubt… Today’s economy relies heavily on agriculture exports such tobacco products also lumber & paper goods – although manufacturing industries likewise play important roles too ranging anywhere aerospace related services automotive components textiles etcetera giving rise additional job markets areas otherwise deprived ones based upon needful requirements thereof hence why diversification remains key ingredient keeping SC competitively afloat amongst competing US regions globally speaking simultaneously regardless whether talking large companies small businesses alike everyone benefits ultimately whenever things happen correctly always beneficial results wise worth noting essentially all times especially considering likelihood potential growth opportunities stemming off accordingly significantly likely happens most cases anyway case point being right? Ok good then moving onto next topic…
