South Carolina


I've been reading The Glorious Cause: The American Revolution, 1763-1789 (Oxford History of the United States) and it's been very educational in learning about the original 13 colonies that rebelled against British rule in 1776.

One of them was South Carolina, originally founded as a colony in 1670 and the first to declare its independence from Britain in March of '76.

Colombia is the capital city of South Carolina, but just as famous is the founding settlement, Charleston, which was famously declared the 'best mannered city in the USA by etiquette expert Marjabelle Young Stewart.


One of the most gorgeous spots in South Carolina is Myrtle Beach - a popular tourist destination that attracts almost 15 million visitors per year. Tailored for tourists, Myrtle Beach is one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the USA and a blossoming hub for state of the art hotels and attractions - like North Myrtle Beach Resort.


Myrtle Beach ResortNorth Myrtle Beach Resorts is a particularly nice resort because it's right on the doorstep of the stunning Cherry Grove Pier - a nearly thousand-feet long pier stretching off into the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean.
