Who was the governor of South Carolina in 1937?

South Carolina seceded from the union?

There were several factors, the main one being slavery. Abraham Lincoln was recently elected president, and South Carolina (a slave state) believed him to be an abolitionist (someone who wants to eliminate slavery). Their agrarian economy heavily relied on slave labor, so they believed the North would eventually economically dominate the South with Lincoln as president. So they seceded, and the rest of the South followed suit.

Can you move out of your home without parental consent at age 17 in South Carolina and can your parents force you to move back?

This is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. Consult the specific laws for the state and county in which you reside for the rules that apply. In most states, any 18 year old is considered an adult and is capable of deciding when and where they reside. They have the ability to contract for housing. SOME states allow minors to become emancipated under specific circumstances, but this is not just a matter of filling out some paperwork. A minor is the responsibility of their parents until such time as they reach the age of majority or are legally emancipated. The parents are required to provide for the support of their minor children. If the parents give permission, the minor can live in another location. Such permission does not relieve the parents of the responsibility to provide support. If the parents do not give permission, the minor can be considered a runaway. Charges may apply to individuals that aid and abet such runaways, particularly if they are under the age of consent. In some states it is my understanding that this is not enforced for 17 year olds that leave home. If you are subject to abuse, you should contact social services for your area. They will assist you in getting out of the bad environment and into a safe place.

How long do you have to be employed at a job in order to be eligible for unemployment benefits in South Carolina?

It varies, depending on your county. It's not how long you worked there, it's whether or not you earned a minimum amount.

The following rules apply: * You must be laid off through no fault of your own. * You must have worked for an employer (or employers) who paid taxes in your name. * You must have earned a minimum amount of wages during the 12-month period occurring before the quarter in which you were laid off. (Contact your local Workforce Center for details.) Their site is http://www.sces.org You seem to be in Hilton Head, so the local office would probably be 914 Boundary Street

What is the penalty for vandalism in South Carolina?

Depends on the severity of the crime. I believe that anything under a $1,000 in damages is considered a misdemeanor. Anything from $1,000 to $5,000 is consider a felony (which can include up to 5 years in prison.) Anything above $5,000 is consider a class A felony (which can include up to 10 years in prison.) All of these come with court fees, and fines, and paying back the damages. So be prepared to pay a lot of money. Depends on the severity of the crime.

How old does a child have to be in South Carolina to decide which parent they want to live with?

It's usually the courts that decide which parent will have the child(ren) live with them. It's much more complicated that you are able to understand. Never fear, both parents love you very much, but sometimes, either the mother or father has a career, they could be poor and the father/mother can't afford to have someone look after you. Until you are of legal age you have to have a sitter. Try sitting down with both parents and tell them how you feel. Perhaps they can figure out something that you will be happy with. These are not reasons to leave: House rules Having to do chores Getting good grades in school Not staying out all night Not doing drugs or drinking too much Being cheeky to your parents If these are some of the reasons you want to leave, then grow up! Everyone has a job to do and you are no different. Why shouldn't you help out with chores? Be lucky you have parents at all because so many kids don't. If you think it's wonderful living out on your own or moving from one parent to the other you are in for a big surprise. Talk to your parents!
