  South Carolina Low Country - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The South Carolina Low Country is a term used to describe the state's coastal counties, generally south of Charleston.
The commonly accepted counties of the Low Country usually consists of Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton, and Colleton counties.
The Low Country does not contain any major economic centers; though one might select Hilton Head Island as the place of most significance, it is difficult to access from the rest of the Low Country and as a resort community has little else of commercial significance.

Selecting the Low Country of South Carolina for her study, Stephanie McCurry uncovers documents revealing the presence of a much-ignored yeoman class and contrasts their political and social motivations with that of the economically dominant planter aristocracy.
For example, the geographic proximity of yeomen to planters in South Carolina is similar to the proximity of yeomen to planters in North Alabama, where valleys and mountains divide holdings of the two classes rather than swamps and rivers.
In South Carolina, representation of the yeomen class was unequally assigned and the public denied the right to directly express their political positions.
