South Carolina is a southern U.S. state that borders Georgia to the south and North Carolina to the north. Originally part of the Province of Carolina, the Province of South Carolina was one of the 13 colonies that declared independence from Britain during the American Revolution. South Carolina was the first state to vote to secede from the Union and was the founding state of the Confederate States of America, which in turn triggered the American Civil War. South Carolina contains 46 counties and its capital is Columbia.
