Charleston, South Carolina, was the principal city in the Southern region from the colonial era to the Civil War. The city grew rich through the export of staples such as rice and cotton and it was the base for many prosperous landowners and merchants. With the destruction caused by the Civil War, the city lost its regional dominance. However, it remained the center of the South Carolina economy. At the beginning of World War II, Charleston became a significant naval base. In recent decades, tourism and service industries have led the economy to a new level of success. Downtown Charleston is a window into colonial America: cobblestone streets, jasmine-scented alleyways and antebellum buildings no taller than the church steeples that dot the city. Visit the heritage of the south on your next Educational Destinations adventure.
