= = =**//Introduction: //**= =**The capital of South Carolina is Columbia, while the metropolitan statistical area is Greenville. Georgia borders the south part of South Carolina, while North Carolina borders the northern part. To the east of South Carolina is the Atlantic Ocean. Since, South Carolina is near by the ocean it was easier to trade slaves and goods from other continents. **=

**South Carolina was the first of the 13 colonies to declare independence from British during the American Revolution. This colony was originally named from King Charles II in the honor of his father, King Charles I.**

=**//Question 1: //**= ===Many religions in South Carolina are diverse. Many churches in South Carolina colony began making branches including the Presbyterian Church, the Anglican Church, and the Lutheran Church. Baptist, Methodist, Catholic, and Jewish churches were also found in the South Carolina colony especially toward the end of the 1700s. This was known for its religious tolerance allowing many churches to be built in a very short period of time. ===



=//Question 2: //= ===People were very religious in the American colonies. Parents taught their children to read the Bible because it was usually the only book they had. Colonial families often paid a teacher to run a private grammar school which taught them math, Latin and other subjects. In the richer colonies of the South, most children were taught at home by private teachers. Wealthy families sent older children back to Europe to study at colleges and universities. Children in the colonies learned many practical things from their parents. Fathers taught their sons how to grow crops and hunt. Daughters had to help their mothers cook, sew, and look after the animals. ===



=//Question 3: //= ===In South Carolina, a major export was rice. Slaves had to know the way around the field and the cultivation of the crops. Since rice was a major export and an industrial profit in South Carolina, it made it very important to sufficiently cultivate the crops in order to gain this profit. Slaves made it a big business for colonies to make money because English colonists who settled in the rich land of North America lacked the expertise required for the production of rice. ===
