My Relationship With South Carolina

Improved Essays
Although I do not have any bonds or relationships with South Carolina, I think my life experiences and future professional interests would be of benefit to the state of South Carolina. As a child, I grew up in a rural area on a farm that was quite distant from nearby healthcare facilities. I find it important to ensure that residents in rural areas receive high-quality healthcare. Wherever I end up practicing as a physician, I plan on contributing as much as possible to rural areas. Given the fact that the majority of South Carolina counties are considered “rural” or “very rural”, I think this would be of great benefit to the state.

    There were three main colonial areas: The Northern Colonies, Middle Colonies, and the Southern Colonies; each one had different geography that caused separation between each identity. For example. The Northern, Middle, and Southern colonies, all because of their geography, were extremely different in terms of economy, food, and the way of life.

Not only were the colonies separating of each other into individual identities, but as a whole emerging from Britain into their own while growing harsh feelings toward their mother country; there were many causes for the hatred at the mother country, but the main factor was…

This deeply rooted fear was actually fomented by Thomas Jefferson, and other members of the southern aristocracy, that felt that liberating the slaves would result in a race war in the south: “A sudden emancipation,…

An example of our discoveries during research was results showing that minorities, especially African Americans, are less likely to pursue living…
