Based on the information provided, you likely live in the American colony of South Carolina. South Carolina was originally settled by English colonists from Barbados who brought along African slaves to work on rice plantations.
England granted land to eight proprietors in the South Carolina area in 1663. The first settlers came in 1670. They were mostly wealthy planters and their slaves emigrating from Barbados. They started growing sugar and cotton. They first kicked out the Native Americans, and then they refused to be ruled by the proprietors, seeking more direct representation. North Carolina was part of the same colony... it split off in 1729.
