Slavery was legally supported in South Carolina prior to the Civil War, as it was in many southern states. However, slavery was abolished in the United States with the ratification of the 13th Amendment in 1865. Today, South Carolina, like the rest of the United States, does not support slavery.

All the Southern states had slavery. But not all of them joined the Confederacy. Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland and Delaware remained loyal - a very big factor in the Union victory.
South Carolina seceded because they believed that the institution of slavery was in peril. I believe the Civil War was about states rights - that is, the states rights to maintain slavery. South Carolina was complaining about the northern states violating the Constitution by not enforcing the Fugitive Slave Act. The union felt that South Carolina was independent and did not want slavery so now they are in war.
