The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to South Carolina: South Carolina – state in the Southeastern United States on the Atlantic coast. Originally part of the Province of Carolina, the Province of South Carolina was the first of the 13 colonies that declared independence from the British Crown during the American Revolution. South Carolina was the first state to ratify the Articles of Confederation, the 8th state to ratify the US Constitution on May 23, 1788. South Carolina later became the first state to vote to secede from the Union which it did on December 20, 1860. It was readmitted to the United States on June 25, 1868.〔In ''Texas vs. White'' (1869), the Supreme Court ruled that the ordinances of secession (including that of South Carolina) were invalid, and thus those states had never left the Union. However, South Carolina did not regain representation in Congress until that date.〕 == General reference == * Names * * Common name: South Carolina * * * Pronunciation: * * Official name: State of South Carolina * * Abbreviations and name codes * * * Postal symbol: SC * * * ISO 3166-2 code: US-SC * * * Internet second-level domain: .sc.us * * Nicknames * * * Palmetto State〔Barry Popik, (Smoky City ), barrypopik.com website, March 27, 2005〕 * * * Sandlapper State * * * Iodine Products State (in disuse)〔 〕 (previously used on license plates) * Adjectivals * * South Carolina * * South Carolinian * Demonym: South Carolinian 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Outline of South Carolina」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
