Left out Lake Murray... The jewel of South Carolina...
Loving these Carolina uploads!
Lol he still ain't pronounced Beaufort right even when he corrected himself 😂
I know 😅😅
As a Beaufortonian, he sounded ridiculous.
We finally got the sequel to the North Carolina one, thanks!
I wanna see North Charleston
I don't think N. Charleston came officially into being until 1972.
I was born and raised and still live in South Carolina. It really is a beautiful and interesting state. I have been to almost all the places mentioned in this presentation. But they have changed. There has been so much development all over the state that now it is losing much of it's southern charm. Still, it is home to me.
it will always stay within your heart where it matters.
1) What year was this? 2) Odd that they didn't talk about Fort Moultrie when they were in Charleston.
They referenced the 1965 Sports Illustrated magazine.
@@micronut6082 Thanks.
Sad they basically only spoke of Columbia and the coast! Small mention of Caesar’s Head, but nothing else..
What year was this produced?
I would say the 1960's.
1965 dunes magazine article list that golf course in this video
Beaufort is pronounced BEWFORT. No one here calls it that
2:10 Um..yeah, the "great" John Calhoun, defender of the "state's right" to do slavery, "slave issue" indeed. Not the kind of person I think should be glorified, both in real-life Charleston and in the documentary but it goes to show how the US evolved as a nation, can't really blame them.
Button up your lip. A lot of Canucks need to mind their own business and worry about there own country. Never come down here with that attitude. - zero greetings from central Arkansas
@@allen480 Now, Allen, We must excuse millenialswith such myopic historical perceptions; those who forget for example that Great Britain provided the slave ships and greedily devoured the produce of the cotton plantations.
@@allen480 I use the first amendment how I wish, wether this pleases you or not, anti-american. How you can tell or not where I'm from? I'll care about the whole world because I care about all humanity, starting with this.
@@rogerd4623 I sure didn't knew that the US were part of Great Britain in the 1830s, that's surely my "myopic historical perception" trumping my degree in history gotten from a non-woke area where slavery is considered bad. Surely, such "myopic historical perception" is about being mad someone said that people like John supporting slavery were bad for that reason, asking a big whataboutism that doesn't have anything to do with what that someone comment, right? Who is myopic, focusing on Great Britain to change the subject away from South Carolina for a suspicious reason, gramps?
The point, and conclusive diagnosis of your historical myopia, is that slavery is an ancient and global stain on "civilization" whose practitioners, proponents and profiteers include such a vast panoply of figures amies of demolirtion crews would have to spend years expunging their memorabilia. The lessons of history are not well taught by wiping it out. On a recent visit to Belgium BTW I was facinated by the well-tended statues of King Leopold II. ((1909 The Congo Reform Association, founded in Britain, ends forced labor in the Congo Free State, today the Democratic Republic of the Congo. After years of anti-slavery activism, the association’s Red Rubber Campaign stops the brutal system of Belgium’s King Leopold II, whose officials forced local people to produce rubber for sale in Europe and terrorized those who refused, cutting off their hands and burning down their houses.))
