Shipping from the State of South Carolina to Tennessee
Settled by the English in 1670, South Carolina became the eighth state to ratify the U.S. constitution in 1788. Its early economy was largely agricultural, benefitting from the area’s fertile soil, and plantation farmers relied on the slave trade for cheap labor to maximize their profits. By 1730, people of African descent made up two-thirds of the colony population. South Carolina became the first state to secede from the union in 1861 and was the site of the first shots of the Civil War–the shelling of the federally held Fort Sumter by Confederate troops on April 12, 1861.
Today, the South Carolina coastline near Myrtle Beach has developed into one of the premier resort destinations on the East Coast and has over 100 golf courses. Famous South Carolinians include musicians James Brown, Chubby Checker, and Dizzy Gillespie, novelist Pat Conroy, boxer Joe Frazier, tennis champion Althea Gibson, politician Jesse Jackson and long-serving U.S. Senator Strom Thurmond.
Shipping to the State of South Carolina to Tennessee
In 1796, Tennessee was recognized as a state of the Union. It shares a boundary with North Carolina to the east and Arkansas and Missouri to the west. Two major cities in the state are Memphis and Nashville and it is popularly known as the center of country music and the blues.
The cities have hosted the best artists such as Dolly Parton, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, and Elvis Presley. Music is not the only thing Memphis is well known for, as its barbecue is so fantastic they hold a “Memphis in May” barbecue yearly.
