South Carolina (Federalist Failure)

The State of South Carolina is one of the more conservative members of the United States of America. It was the last state to abolish slavery, in 189?, and even today, is dominated by an unofficial aristocracy, primarily descended from the old slave-holders.

The right to vote is more restricted in South Carolina than in any other US state. Women only received the vote in the late 20th century, and strict property requirements are still in place (with restrictions on the sale of property preserving the power of the old aristocracy). Severe racial restrictions are still in place.

The State consists of *here*'s South Carolina, plus a narrow 12-mile strip to the Mississippi River, which is the northernmost 12 miles of *here*'s Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi.
