South Carolina was created in 1710 when King Charles I divided the Carolina territory into two states, north and south. The first permanent English settlement was near Charleston, and the sub-tropical weather and fertile soil attracted settlers from many parts of Europe, establishing plantations of rice and indigo throughout the coastal low country. The plantations flourished due to slaves brought in from Africa to provide labor (by 1720 they formed the majority of the population). As a result, South Carolina was one of the richest colonies in the New World by the time of the American Revolution. | | | Cruise Port Miami: Take a stroll through a South Beach café, shops of Bayside Marketplace or enjoying "un cortadito" in Little Havana, Miami is a melting pot for anyone who wants to have fun..
