South Carolina was the first state the secede from the United States, sparking the War of Secession. It continued to play an important role in Confederate politics. It was the home of such notable Confederate leaders as President James Longstreet; Wade Hampton III; his grandson, assassinated President Wade Hampton V; and Anne Colleton. In the antebellum period it had been the home state of John C. Calhoun, who built the intellectual framework for secession.

One of its major cities, Charleston, was targeted for retalitory bombing by the U.S. after the C.S. began the Second Great War by invading Ohio. Indeed, U.S. forces were quite determined to break South Carolina, as many perceived the state to be the "birthplace" of the Confederacy, and thus 80 years of misery.

The town of Hardeeville was effectively massacred by U.S. troops in 1944, as the Confederacy was in its deaththrows.

In the aftermath of the Seven Year' War, South Carolina was one of a number of colonies that chafed under unrepresentative direct British rule. However, a new arrangement was peacefully negotiated forming the North American Union. Thus, South Carolina was one of the oldest Provinces of the Union.
