Ever wonder what it would have been like to live in the 1700s? How did the settlers hear about our great state of South Carolina? Today, you will begin a five day journey into the past where you will research the settlement of South Carolina. Now, we know that settlers weren't reading travel brochures but what would they look like if they did?

You and your group will use your research to create a pamphlet to entice the people of the mid 1700s to move to our beautiful Palmetto State.
