The most solid Democratic state but in 1952 Eisenhower lost the state by just 1.5%! But in 1956 he lost it by 20 points. What happened? My only theory is that South Carolina has a lot of veterans, so war hero Eisenhower overperformed. But his support for civil rights cost him the state in 1956. Pretty interesting result.
