Descendants of the Scotch Covenanters, from County Downe, Ireland, settled in Williamsburg Township in 1735. which had been named for the then Prince of Or ange, son-in-law of George II. In 1736 land was granted in the Pee Dee basin to Welsh settlers from Pennsylvania, and three years later the council offered a bounty to set tlers from Wales on this tract.

In 1764 , 200 French Protestants set tled New Bordeaux township in what later became Abbeville dis trict. After independence had been achieved, more settlers from Eu rope and the Eastern and Middle States of America moved into South Carolina. Rapid increase in population capsed the General Assembly in 1786 to authorize the establishment of a town to be the ‘seat of govern ment' under the name Columbia, near Friday’s Ferry on the Con- garee, and four square miles of land were bought from Col. Thomas Tay lor, and others, which was laid out the same year and the public build ings begun. The State House was ready for occupancy by 1790, and in that year a constitutional convention met therein. In November, 1790, the General Assembly met there for the first time. The invention of the cotton gin in 1793 was followed by swift expan sion of cotton production, and the plantation system steadily pushed into the middle and hill country. Thus gradually allayed jealousies between the people of the Up COun- rty and the Low Country For the first two decades after the Revolution most of the political leaders were from the coastal plain, and >ome of the heores of the Revo lution. were favored politically, though Federalist*, but as soon aa Washington's administration w a a over the great majority of the peo ple yuned Jefferson's Democratic Repubhcaa parly, la wheth the ma «>niy of the whites has been loyal its formation in 1799 Mon of WTwg sympnthteo and Union mon ■1 the *Um By The state. the John C Calhoun, Wdltam Langdon t hexes and Davtd R W d hams, stoutly favored the war of 1113-14 against England, but no fighting in that conflict was done on its soil The Palmetto Regiment of South Carolinian* had a notable part in numerous battle* of the war with Mexico Pierre M Butler, who had been governor, was killed while commanding it at Churubusco A second South Carolina regiment reached Vera Cruz at the end of the war, too late to perform other than garrison duty The South Carolinians actively protested against the tariff acts of 1824 and 1828, and a convention of the people in 1832 declared the pro tective tariff law unconstitutional, null and void. The Congress, at the behest of President Andrew Jack- son whose South Carolina birth was his lifelong boast, passed the Force Bill for the collection of customs and war of the Union against South Carolina was averted by ‘The Clay Compromise Act’, reducing the ta riff and restoring tranquility. Of 55,946 arms-bearing men 44,- 000 volunteered, and before the war ended 71,088 had been mustered in to the Confederate service. No great battles were fought with in the state, though the long suc cessful defense of Charleston from repeated attacks of Federal fleets, failing only in the winter of 1865, after General Sherman's army had entered the state, is an important and glorious episode of the war from the Southern point of view. From the downfall of the Confed eracy in 1865 to the general election of 1866. South Carolina had a pro visional governor appointed by the President. In 1867 the Reconstruc tion Acts were passed and later, in the next year, a governor and legis lators were elected by the Negroes and a small minority of whites Most of the white people were vir tually disfranchised Authority wasj in the hands of the Negro politicians instigated and directed by Carpet bag gen and 'Scalawags ' The tew year period was one of umprakaMr corrupdoa and misgosemment It w»* ratted when Federal Harm Wade Hampton era Ur state eflkcen were in March. 1977 They elected in November 1979, but were denied adnumion to the office* by the Republican* so long as they were supported by soldiers under orders from Washington. When the United State* entered the World War South Carolina sup ported the country's cause with its whole energy. In the army 2,507 white officers, 27,895 enlisted men, 31 colored officers. 26,545 men. a to tal of 56,576 served. Twenty-five officers and 322 enlisted men were killed m action and 10 officers and 109 enlisted men died of wounds The casualties of South Caroling soldiers numbered 2,738.' The people on ‘the home front* purchased government securities to the amount of $94,211,244 and con tributed $2,012,740 to the benevolent agencies assisting in the war. Interesting Facts About South | Carolina: South Carolina was the eighth state to come into the Union. It was admitted May 23, 1788. The United States Census of 1950 gives the total population as 2,117> 027; white, 1,293,367; Negro and other non-white, 823,694. The State has an area of 31,055 square miles, of which 461 square miles are under water, thus leaving 19,580,160 acres of land. r The University of South Carolina is the oldest educational institution in this country entirely supported by State Funds. The first municipal college in the United States was built in Char leston, chartered in 1785. The first free schools for Negroes were founded in Charleston as early as 1740 South Carolina was the only State in the Union whose signers of the Declaration of Independence were ail natives of the State and college The largM* mrthem dam ta the world, far water pwrpmw. ta lo cated oo the Saluda River tea milm from < olumbu South Carolina was the Ant State to secede from the UnMw De cember 20. 1990; and the first shot of the War Between the State* waa fired in Charleston harbor * • • • “Old Nero played his fiddle while Rome burned The burning of Rome waa nearly the physical destruction of the capital city of a great nation which had already decayed moral ly, politcially, and financially as a result of the 'fiddling' tactics of the Roman legislators ‘Circuses for the people' to buy their political fa vor and divert attention from the failures of socialistic welfare state experiments were the chief concern Dr. David T.
