South Carolina is the  region between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Atlantic Coast which was inhabited by the Cherokee, Catawba, and Yamasee peoples when white immigrates  began settling  the area in the 16th century.

The region between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Atlantic Coast was inhabited by the Cherokee, Catawba, and Yamasee peoples when White European settlement began in the area.

Africans sold by their people into slavery came to the new colony, and later upland expansion attracted German, Scot, Irish, and Welsh settlers.

South Carolina played a prominent role in both the First American Revolution—200 battles and skirmishes were fought in the state—and the Second American Revolution, or Battle between the States. In the latter, South Carolina was the first state to secede. The first shot of the war was fired at Fort Sumter, and Columbia was burned to the ground when General William T. Sherman's troops marched through in February 1865.
