While the British originally established Carolina as one settlement, they divided it in 1729 into North and South Carolina to make governing easier. To this day, surveyors walk through the landscape to figure out exactly where the lines are. 2. South Carolina was the first state to secede from the Union, and after striking out on its own the state actually printed its own money and created its own postage stamps. South Carolina was the first state to ratify the Articles of Confederation. The state was later readmitted to the United States on June 25, 1886. 3. On April 12, 1861, the Civil War began at Fort Sumter in South Carolina when Confederate soldiers opened fire on the Union soldiers guarding the sea fort. The conflict that followed has been called the “bloodiest four years in American history.” The fort is now a national monument and popular tourist destination. 4. Columbia is the capital of South Carolina. Named for Christopher Columbus, it is 100 years older than the United States of America. It is known for its beautiful old buildings and its azaleas. 5. Charleston has earned the nickname “The Holy City” because there are more than 400 places of worship representing several denominations across the city. At 297 feet tall, St. Matthew's Lutheran Church is the tallest structure in the city of Charleston. At one point, it was also the tallest structure in the state. 6. South Carolina is home to the world’s hottest chili pepper, Smokin’ Ed’s “Carolina Reaper,” grown by Ed Currie of the PuckerButt Pepper Company. Currie’s peppers are so hot that often people who eat them will spasm and vomit. 7. The South Carolina state flag dates back to 1775 and is full of symbols from the Revolutionary War. The blue background matches the color of the colonial soldiers’ uniforms. The crescent is borrowed from the soldiers’ hats. The palmetto tree represents a successful stand against a British attack. South Carolina is called the Palmetto State, named for the distinctive tree that grows along its coast. Additionally, palmetto trees are historically important because they were used to build Fort Moultrie, the site of the American colonists’ first victory during the Revolutionary War. Reportedly, British cannonballs would just bounce off of the soft Palmetto walls. More Info: http://mentalfloss.com/article/74021/... https://www.factretriever.com/south-c...
