  • Is everyone in South Carolina a golfer?
    Are a lot of people here God fearing Christians?
    And does EVERYONE talk like Foghorn Leghorn here?
    We’ll answer those questions and more. So ya’ll should grab your hush puppies and barbecue, we’re gonna unbox the state of South Carolina!
    Wow. So pretty. What a nice coast, huh? This is the South Carolina coast. One of the prettiest stretches of land in the nation. A lot of South Carolina’s coast is this beautiful.
    But as we’ll see, not ALL of South Carolina beaches are magnificent. And, obviously, the whole state isn’t a big beach. Because we don’t have any states like that.
    South Carolina is a big state with a lot of different regions. And a lot of history, too. And to completely understand this whole state, we should give a general overview, and then focus on each region.
    This... is South Carolina. You can basically break this state into 6 different areas. Each one has its own distinct identity.

      @@naftolipickard3785 Southern accents are common anywhere in South Carolina that isn't Charleston or Hilton Head. Charleston, once the "Most Southern" city is America, has been a lightning rod for migration, particularly from up north. In Greenville and Spartanburg you'll run across fewer native speakers than in Easley or Pickens, but they're still pretty common. Authentic Southern accents vary from area to area. There were 38 demographic groups in the state, before recent immigration increases. McMaster's accent is common in the Midlands. Strom Thurmond's had an Edgefield accent. The Upstate accent was influenced by Scotch-Irish settlement from PA and VA, and is an almost stereotypical hillbilly accent. There are several distinct accents along the coast.

    I lived in South Carolina for many years and this video is very accurate! I went to college in Myrtle Beach and t's very run-down, especially the closer you get to the beach and it's also full of people from the northeast, especially New Jersey, need I say more. Charleston is very historic and very hipster, much like Savannah. Hilton Head is by far the "nicest" area as far as low-crime and uppity beach communities but the vacation destination of native South Carolinians is Folly Beach, Edisto Beach, etc. as they are not nearly as crowded and built up. It's a state in transition. The state has so many transplants nowadays, especially in areas like Greenville, Myrtle Beach, Charleston, Columbia, and Hilton Head. Fantastic state overall with great culture, great food, fairly low cost of living, and beautiful sights!

    • @HafooluApps
      @HafooluApps 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I go to Hilton Head Island yearly (I live in the Sumter and Manning area) and I can say it’s a nice area, but you can just deal the liberalism there, which is one of the few things I dislike. Such as signs being hidden and not lit to “save the turtles”

    I moved from San Francisco to a smallish town (50k pop) near Charleston 7 years ago. It’s true SC tends to be God fearing, but I’d rather fear God than my neighbors. I find the accent quite nice, it matches the summers, slow & sweet. Nick didn’t mention that Charleston is the #1 Tourist destination in the US or that’s it’s a serious foodie city. My small town has 2 great wine bars, one run by a French Sommelier. Good times, good people, good wine, what more could you want? The nice people & the beauty are what brought my husband & I to SC & we haven’t been disappointed. It’s true the summers are hot, but public & private pools abound & there’s nothing better than sinking into your pool on a hot southern day. Charleston also has the oldest museum in the US, plus many more. I recommend them highly.
    About the phrase “Bless Your Heart” I’m happy to say no one has ever said that to me, but then I love SC & wouldn’t consider living anywhere else.

      Summerville? We live on the Charleston County side. Technically, Ladson. But my kids went to school in Dorchester County for a long time. The county lines are strange here! When we lived in Lakes of Summerville, our street was Charleston county, the back of the neighborhood is Berkeley and the front couple of streets are Dorchester. Had to call 911 once, and they argued over which county should respond...

    I was born in South Carolina and spent my first 28 years, left for work reasons. It's got plenty of flaws and some ugly history, but it's also beautiful and interesting culture. I do get homesick, but returning isn't in the cards beyond visiting family for the foreseeable future. Two thoughts, with that in mind:
    "Bless your heart" is not expressly an insult, but an expression of sympathy. Whether it is an insult is based entirely on what the sympathy is being expressed for and whether you actually would want such sympathy.
    Aside from the obvious problems with Confederate worship in SC, it also obscures just how much important Revolutionary War history, particularly battle sites, can be found all over the state that is worth checking out if you're a history buff. The Mel Gibson movie "The Patriot" did a bad job of explaining that history, though-- so if you're ever in Camden (which has great Revolutionary War history sites), save yourself the awkward moment of asking where the British rounded up Americans and burned them to death in the church. That definitely didn't happen.

    A few things you have mixed up with other states. Hush puppies are a North Carolina thing. You eat them with everything up there. You can find them in SC but not at most restaurants. Smoking is more a NC and Tennessee thing also. They have smoking sections. And Tea is grown in SC on wadmalaw island. Should be the state drink but I’m not a fan.

BMW was also instrumental in bringing in Volvo, Mercedes, as well as ZF Manufacturing which builds transmissions for many automakers including BMW.
