I am confused about certain descriptions in South Carolina. I looked at a master’s thesis written at the College of Charleston, an interesting paper. The author as well as many other authors refer to the inland sections of South Carolina as the backcountry. Is that valid today or is it better to refer to those sections as the low country? I am from Connecticut so I am not familiar with your state however I am interested in your history. How do you identify the coastal sections such as Charleston? I hope I don’t offend anybody I’m just trying to learn more about your state. Thank you.
