| In 1710/12, the Province of Carolina was divided
into North Carolina and South Carolina. This
separation has been official since 1729. South
Carolina declared America's first colony on March 5,
1776 independence from the British motherland and
thus played an important pioneering role in the
independence movement. This made South Carolina much
more courageous than other colonies, because
although the independence movement has become
increasingly important for American colonists for
several years, most of the 13 founding states were
still reluctant to do the proverbial nails with
their heads. There were moderate forces and
radical advocates of independence. The moderate
leaders initially advocated the independent
political administration of the American colonies,
but without striving for independence from
England. For many colonists, this step appeared to
be associated with too high a risk. Nobody really
knew what would happen with complete
independence. However, since the hopes of
independent political administration were not
fulfilled, the declaration of independence was
inevitable.
Shortly after the declaration of independence of
South Carolina broke on April 19, 1775 War of
Independence from. On February 5, 1778, South
Carolina became the first state to sign the
Confederation Articles, a forerunner of the later,
definitive constitution that still exists today. On
May 23, 1788, South Carolina became the eighth state
to join the newly founded United States of
America. Seventy years later, this state again
played a major role in significant political and
social change.
American Civil War
On December 20, 1860, the Civil War started from
here, because South Carolina was the first state to
leave the American Confederation, thus initiating
the formation of the Confederation. This consisted
of eleven of the southern states that joined the
South Carolina Secession. Out of these eleven states
became a federal state, which finally even created
its own president with Jefferson Davis. However,
these states, known as the southern states or
slave-holding states, were not very successful with
their secession movement, because in 1865 they had
finally lost the war against the Union states of the
north. However, the confederation was not
politically recognized by the rest of the United
States, still abroad. The reason for the outbreak of
the American Civil War was the election of Abraham
Lincoln as President and the new political
direction. Slave farming should be abolished as soon
as possible.
However, since the southern states were
predominantly agricultural and comparatively lagging
behind the industrialized northern states, people
feared being left behind. The plantation owners
could only maintain their profitable business model
with the cotton sales at home and abroad because of
the cheap work of the slaves. If the right to keep
slaves ceased, profits would collapse. The
cultivation of sugar cane, nuts and tobacco was also
successful through slave labor alone.
Realignment after the civil war
After the civil war, society had to realign
itself, because now the Union states dictated
politics, finance and economy, which was perceived
by the southern states as humiliation. Because of
this history, many of the southern states are still
politically conservative-republican. Here one still
cultivates the idea of a confederation and the
culture associated with it, even if the attitude
towards keeping slaves has changed in the
meantime. Nevertheless, African Americans in
the southern states mostly have to fight with a
stronger rejection by the white majority than in the
northern states, because the infamous Ku Klux
clan found here until the middle of the 20th
centurya large following. South Carolina is still
predominantly agricultural land. Except for
Charleston and Columbia, there are only a few cities
that have more than 40,000 residents.
The conservative Republicans traditionally
list one of their strongholds here. With the
exception of 1976, the Democrats had no political
victory. South Carolina is part of the Sun
Belt. This term describes the states located south
of the 37th parallel, which goes back to the
climatic conditions. In contrast to the other
southern states, South Carolina could not follow the
economic upturn, because there are no conurbations
with modern industrial structures. The Bible
Belt includes all southern states in which
Protestant Protestantism plays an important role.
South Carolina subtropical climate
Due to the geographical proximity to the Gulf of
Mexico and the Caribbean, the climate in South
Carolina is mild to warm all year round. The coastal
region has a subtropical climate. You don't know
real winters here. In summer the temperatures easily
reach more than 30 degrees with higher humidity. The
climate inland and in the mountain region is around
five degrees cooler. Inland, the summers are dry and
hot, and somewhat cooler in the mountain
region. However, there is hardly any winter with
snow here either.
A rather subdued population growth in historic
South Carolina
According to
allcitypopulation, outliers in population growth were only described
in South Carolina between 1800 and 1830, i.e.
shortly after joining the United States. During
these years, immigration ranged between 15 and 39
percent. The peak of population growth in 1880 was
41 percent. However, the United States generally had
a high number of European immigrants at that
time. To date, the immigration rate has fluctuated
between three and 15 percent. An exception was made
in 1980, when 20.5 percent chose to start a new life
in South Carolina. In total, just over five million
people live here. With 28 percent represent African
Americana comparatively large part of the
population. The white majority is represented with
68 percent, other nationalities are Asians, Indians,
Hawaiians and Hispancis.
