You
probably know that South Carolina was one of the thirteen colonies.
Of them, it was the 8th to ratify the new Constitution of
the United States of America, becoming a state on this date in 1788.
(It
was also the first state to vote to secede from the Union as a part
of the Civil War. Like the other Confederate states, it was
readmitted after the war.)
Even
though South Carolina is a rather small state, it has a lot of
different sorts of landforms.
Of course it has beaches on the
Atlantic Ocean.
It
has river deltas and coastal plains, and it has islands just off of the coast.
It
has the Sandhills, which are ancient dunes from what used to be the
coast, millions of years ago, but is now inland.
It
has rolling hills and the Blue Ridge Mountains.
It
has old plantations.
It
has lovely gardens.
And
of course it has waterfalls and lakes and other natural beauty spots.
