This is probably the reason they split back in the early 1700's.

Actually South Carolina was the "better" Carolina back then. They had Charleston. Virginia had the Chesapeake. We were a void between the two prominent states. But in the 20th Century, we turned on the afterburners and haven't looked back sense. Hello New South! |

South Carolina: To small for a country, to big for an asylum.
North Carolina: A vale of humility between two mountains of conceit

IMO (and I'm probably in the minority on this thread) there's very little difference between NC and SC by today's standards. NC has been slightly more influenced by transplants. Still though, both states are really the same when it comes to culture and core beliefs. |
