Every state has its well-known history. But some of the best stories are the ones hiding in plain sight, tucked into a roadside marker you've driven past a hundred times, or buried in a chapter of the past that never quite made it into the textbooks. SC Backstory is here to dig those up.
Each installment will explore the stories behind South Carolina moments, icons, places and more, from the momentous to the overlooked. We'll revisit the events that shaped the Palmetto State and shine a light on the ones that deserve a second look.
