Picked up this book:

at a local sale for $0.10 cents. It is informative, but it looks to be a children's book.

I am looking for alternate history ideas for colonial South Carolina. I do not know enough about that state to come of with ideas other than a slave-uprising or a Spanish-invasion.

I am also looking for any folklore of the region or supernatural events. Again: I know nothing of the Carolinas other than it was woodsie when I rode through it once on Greyhound and there was a really, really big lake with a road that went through it.
 
Three dollars:

1. Virginia emancipates the slaves in 1780-1800 before the US is officially formed. That would confirm the US as a primary "free" nation. South Carolina might not join the USA.

2. South Carolina and North Carolina merge.

3. South Carolina acquires Georgia.
 
South Carolina remains a hub of patriotism in the American Revolution, forcing many Patriots south and the Patriots north....

IIRC that's the general theme of Glen's Dominion of Southern America timeline, thanks to the point of divergence the revolutionaries take Quebec but the loyalists remain in control of North Carolina and what becomes Tennessee in our timeline and everything south of them.

Given that slavery was so necessary for the economies of the South, I do not think any Southern-State would emancipate unless, there were a flood of European immigrants that would be more economical to hire them as laborers than to have slave to buy and take care of.
