Settled by the English in 1670, South Carolina was based on a plantation culture with an aristocratic, wealthy society that was dependent on black slave labor. One of the original 13 colonies, South Carolina was first formed in 1729 when the Carolina colony was divided in two to form North and South Carolina.

There are a few reasons why South Carolina was settled. One reason is that it was a good location for farming and plantations. Another reason is that it had a good port, which was important for trade. Finally, it was also a good place for military defenses.

Hope this helps :)
