How did South Carolina get its nickname?

South Carolina's nickname is "The Palmetto State".

The Palmetto was used to complete the unfinished Fort Sullivan (now Moultrie). Palmetto is a soft spongy tree that absorbed and deflected the British fire. The greatly outnumbered Colonial Patriots defeated 9 of the Royal British Navy man-of-war ships including the prized Bristol which was a 50 gun ship!

What government did the southern colonies have?

In theory the colonies belonged to the king. At one time the king owned all the land. Each royal grant or charter was different from the others, but in every case the king remained the ruler. They were not independent nations and England was an ocean away, but all decisions were made by the king and the British lawmakers. Colonial policy was set by the king's principal advisers called the Privy Council, but a subcommittee of the council, the Lords of Trade, made the major decisions and handled colonial problems as they arose. All were subject to Parliament. Parliament consisted of the king/queen, House of Lords, and the House of Commons.

There were also governments in each colony and these carried out and enforced the laws of England and took care of local issues. The colonial governments were modeled after the English government. At the head of each was a governor who represented the king and made sure the laws were enforced. Most were appointed by the king and English born. Governors were assisted by councils and had about the same power/duties as the Privy Council. Local laws were made by elected bodies of assemblies or legislatures that were also modeled on the English House of Commons. On paper their powers were limited, but in truth they had a great deal of power because they controlled the money. Each town also had a government. Southern colonies had county courts that decided issues on local matters. The chief officals of the courts were justices of the peace and were appointed by the governor. Most colonist like the idea of the division of government into separate parts. It allowed the colonies control over local issues, but the British leaders felt differently and wanted to put them into a few regional groups to manage them.

What important events happened in South Carolina?

Several important events happened during that time. First of all, the Carolina's were not split into North and South until 1712; they were made official, royal colonies in 1729. Slaves were dominant in South Carolina and were actually in control of half of their time. They could earn money and even become free and own a few slaves themselves. But the English were fearful that they would have too much control, so they devised a dress code and a 9:00 pm curfew for slaves. The Steno Rebellion happened in 1739 when slaves rebelled against the whites and escaped to Florida, a typical escape for slaves at the time. The slaves went through burning down plantations and gathering even more slaves as they went. However, they were defeated by militia at a river near their destination

What was the religion in the colony of South Carolina?

Protestantism was the dominant religion in colonial South Carolina, because at that time the Pope had been thrown out of the Church of England by Henry VIII and held no power amongst the royalty. More specifically, the South was Congregationalist, a form of Protestantism.
The answer is probably Christianity {I hope this answer helps!}
