	CSS Palmetto State - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		CSS Palmetto State, an ironclad ram, was built by Cameron and Co., Charleston, South Carolina in January 1862, under the supervision of Flag Officer D.
		The attack of the Confederate rams caused the temporary withdrawal of the blockaders from their inshore positions and led to the claim by the Confederate Government, unsuccessfully advanced, that the blockade of Charleston had been raised.
		Palmetto State was burned by the Confederates upon the evacuation of Charleston on February 18, 1865.

		As of 2005, the Republican Party holds both houses of the state legislature, both United States Senate seats and a majority of the state's seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, but the Democratic Party holds the governor's seat and their candidate has won the state in the past four presidential elections.
		Pennsylvania's nickname "The Keystone State" is quite apt, as the state forms a geographic bridge both between the Northeastern states and the Southern states, and between the Atlantic seaboard and the Midwest.
		This rapid decrease of the state's white population is due to huge growth in the state's non-white population.

		On January 31st, 1863, the Palmetto State and her sister ram, the CSS Chicora (similar in design with the major difference being a four sided casemate versus this eight sided vessel), launched a surprise attack on the blockading Union force, off Charleston.
		Since she has such a low silhouette, she was able to keep under the guns of the USS Mercidita, ramming her, firing at her, forcing her to surrender.
		Then turning her attention to the USS Keystone State, she launched several shells into her, causing loss of all power, later being towed into safety.
