My wife's family is from Charleston SC, and we try to get down there every other year. Last time we went, I saw a bumper sticker that said "Go Back To Ohio." I investigated this further, and it seems that the citizens have formed a prejudice against all ohioans. They are mad because of A. the number of people relocating, and B. tourists. I don't get it. Don't they realize their state would probably be in the pots if it weren't for all the tourist money flowing into there every year. I don't really understand this, so if anyone could shed some light on the topic, I would appreciate it.
Never heard of them hating Ohioans, interesting...

Went on a walking tour in Charleston a few years back and the tour guide went on to say his grandfather told him if it wasn't for us yankees his family would still be rich. He went on to tell us that back in the early 1800s Charleston was the place to migrate to people from all over the world came there for various reasons. The Huguenots came from France for religious reasons and people came from all over the world and loved it and thought it was wonderful to which I replied unless they were from Africa. He didn't like that comment very well lol
They're still mad about losing the Civil War, and Ohio was the main destination of the underground railroad. Plus football is huge down there and they're probably mad about all the attention Ohio State gets.

The name Ohio originates from the Iroquois Indian word for good river.

... This Indian name was later translated by the French as La Belle Riviere (the Beautiful River). Ohio is the 17th state admitted to the Union March 1, 1803.

I believe that upon the election of Abraham Lincoln as the senator from South Carolina stood in Congress to announce (prematurely) his state`s decision to leave the Union that a junior senator from Ohio gave him a severe dressing down, calling his speech "low minded TREASON" and basically spelling out the consequences for the seceeding states in remarkable clairity, even saying that it be a war waged by the poor Southerners most of whom DIDN`T own slaves for the SOLE "benefit" of the few rich white Southerneers who did and whom incidently would do very little of any actual fighting or dying. The junior Ohio senator also predicted the eventual end of slavery and that losing the war would utterly devastate the South`s economy for decades to come. Apparently the lecture made the front page of the Charleston paper and was NOT well recieved...ironically almost EVERY prediction came to pass...
I was Born and raised in OHIO by Southern Born parents (Virginia)! Moved to Greenville SC and lived there for 7 years! I moved back to OHIO because my Father became ill...When my parents are gone I will move back to SC!
I still have friends that still live in Green-val, Myrtle, and Charleston.
AND, I fully understand why Southerners feel this way!
The charm of the South is the laid back lifestyle, the friendliness, and the culture/food!
When I was there from 1988 til 1995 people from NY and Mass were moving down in hoards. They ALL are rude, obnoxious, and butt-holes, with no common sense!...after BMW and a few other BIG companies got rolling and raided Honda Management etc, word got out about how nice living in SC is, Ohioans started relocating, and most acted just as bad....Beside the Civil War (THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN!!!) THIS IS HOW IT STARTED!

My sister and her family live in SC and I've seen the hate. It usually comes from the "the Civil War ain't over, its just halftime" crowd. The poor whites who somehow feel disenfranchised and blame their woes on everyone else.
