 | | SOUTH CAROLINA, one of the South Atlantic states of the U.S., bordered on the N by North Carolina, on the E and SE by the Atlantic Ocean, and on the SW and W by Georgia. |
 | | The Atlantic flyway along the coast is followed by migrating water fowl, especially ducks and geese, and many kinds of birds, such as the catbird, mockingbird, oriole, and wren, live in the interior regions of the state. |
 | | South Carolina was the first state to secede from the Union (Dec. 20, 1860), and the attack on Fort Sumter, in Charleston Harbor, on April 12, 1861, marked the beginning of the American Civil War. |
