Throughout the 19th century, Charleston experienced a period of economic prosperity, driven by the growth of its port, the expansion of cotton cultivation and the boom in tourism. Many of the city's large houses and public buildings were built during this era, and they are still some of the city's most iconic sights today. Charleston has a dark history as a key location in the transatlantic slave trade, making it the richest city in the South during a period of time.
The city was at the height of its prosperity in the 18th century, in what is called the period before the war of the war, which occurred between the War of Independence and the Civil War. Some figures estimate that 50% of the slaves brought to the United States passed through Charleston. Many African Americans, including Michelle Obama, can trace the arrival of their ancestors to the United States through the slave trade in Charleston. However, tidal plantations were exceptionally profitable.
On the eve of the American Revolution, Carolina's golden rice made the Lowcountry the richest area in North America, and perhaps the richest in the world, historian Coclanis noted. As expected, rice planters dominated South Carolina's political, economic and social life. Even so, the cornerstone of this dazzling enslavement of wealth and power was under attack. As you may know, the city of Charleston, like Panama City, is a historic port city that shares a proud and prosperous history.
Until the Civil War, South Carolina's coastal economy relied heavily on rice traded globally through port cities, especially Charleston, the region's only major city. Since the mid-18th century, there was a large amount of immigration into the interior of the Carolinas, some of which came from abroad through Charleston, but also moved south from Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, until the population of the interior of the country surpassed the coastal population.

I was aware of finding the balance between being honest about history, which is inseparable from that part of Charleston, and not just walking around and criticizing the city for its past and ignoring that today it's a very different place.
The slave trade also relied on the port of Charleston, where ships could be unloaded and enslaved people bought and sold. As Panama City enjoys a worldwide surge of interest, so is Charleston, which ranks as one of the top destinations for travelers, commerce, technology, education, culture and fashion. The slave trade also relied on the port of Charleston, where ships could be unloaded and slaves sold at markets. Other notable sports venues in Charleston include Johnson Hagood Stadium (home of The Citadel Bulldogs soccer team), the McAlister Field House (home of The Citadel Bulldogs basketball team), and the Toronto Dominion Bank Arena at the College of Charleston, which seats 5,100 people who watch the school's basketball and volleyball teams.
Heading northwest, it connects the city to North Charleston, Charleston International Airport, I-95 and Columbia. The slave trade also relied on the port of Charleston, where ships could be unloaded and slaves could be bought and sold. The planters stayed farther and farther away from their farms and, during the winter social seasons, met in elegant houses between Battery and Broad Street in Charleston, or in Beaufort and Georgetown, to talk about crops and politics. The history of Charleston, South Carolina, is one of the longest and most diverse of all communities in the United States, encompassing hundreds of years of physical settlement that began in 1670.
After being a majority minority city for most of its history, at the end of the 20th century, many whites began to return to the urban core of Charleston, and the area became gentrified with rising prices and rents. On June 28, 1776, General Henry Clinton, with 2000 men and a naval squadron, tried to seize Charleston, hoping for a simultaneous loyal uprising in South Carolina. I-26 begins in downtown Charleston, with exits to the Seventh Clark Highway, Arthur Ravenel Jr.
