What group from SC did not want too secede?

In South Carolina, a significant group that opposed secession was the Unionist faction, which included many white citizens, especially in the Upstate regions. They believed that secession would lead to economic ruin and were loyal to the Union. Prominent Unionists, such as Thomas Green Clemson and other influential figures, actively campaigned against the secession movement during the lead-up to the Civil War. Despite their efforts, South Carolina became the first state to secede from the Union in December 1860.
