Most Patriotic State? South Carolina.

Want to live in the MOST patriotic state?
MOVE NOW to SOUTH CAROLINA.

Yes, it's true.  The real estate website, Movoto, performed a study to find the most patriotic states and the least patriotic states.  Interesting stuff.   SOUTH CAROLINA came out #1 !!!  Of course, we knew that here in South Carolina.

We have the largest Army basic training installation in the USA at Fort Jackson, the Marine Corps Parris Island, Shaw Air Force Base and a number of other important military installations.  The Congressional Medal of Honor Museum is even located in South Carolina!  A high number of military retirees choose to live in South Carolina.   Friendly South Carolina is the America-loving winner!

TOP TEN MOST PATRIOTIC STATES: (notice that 6/10 states are in the South?)
  1. SOUTH CAROLINA
  2. Maine
  3. North Carolina
  4. Wyoming
  5. Virginia
  6. Florida
  7. Georgia
  8. Alaska
  9. Alabama
  10. Arizona
