South Carolina Real Estate
A state of the southeast United
States bordering on the Atlantic Ocean. It was admitted as one of the
original Thirteen Colonies in 1788. First visited by Spanish explorers
in the early 1500s, the region was granted by Charles II of England to
eight of his principal supporters in 1663. The territory was divided
into the colonies of North Carolina and South Carolina in 1729. South
Carolina was the first state to secede from the Union (1860), thus
precipitating the Civil War. Columbia is the capital and the largest
city. Population: 3,505,707.
