To encourage immigration from abroad, South Carolina published The Handbook of South Carolina in 1908. The book was designed to give foreigners considering a move to the United States a chance to take a look at South Carolina as a possible place to relocate. It was also intended to present a rosy view of the state’s economy to foreign investors. The handbook began with a brief history of the state. Here is the section dealing, in just a couple of pages, with the cause of the Civil War and its outcome.
