South Carolina is a state in the United States 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 the British Crown during the American Revolution.
The colony was originally named by British King Charles II in honor of his father Charles I of England, as Carolus is Latin for Charles.
