Here we go first question, what historical structure in Charleston Harbor was the site of the first shots fired during the Civil War. That would be of course, Fort Sumter. Try this one was Charleston named after Charleston is named for England's King Charles II in 1663 gave away land stretching from Virginia to Florida to eight Lords proprietors for colonization. A question, what is the name of Charleston's annual spring festival that celebrates theater, opera music and dance. I bet you that when the answer is, the Spoleto Festival USA about this one ingredient for OneWorld's favorite beverages is grown nowhere else in the United States but in the Charleston area name that beverage that ingredient is key, which is grown only at the Charleston tea plantation about 18 miles from downtown. Here is one out of the dance called the Charleston originator well, although the dance began in African-American communities composer James P.
