Are there any french creoles located past or present in South Carolina. That is like the only state that doesn't have creoles living there.

Hello
Creoles , in most Cases, are Mixed Race Mulattos who have Louisiana Ancestoral Heritage. They could be White, Black or Mixed Race.....People are forgetting that Creole is NOT a Racial classification but rather a Culture...
IN the post Colonial days the Mixed Race Mulattos in the Carolinas ( Both North and South)shared a higher Standard of living then the average Black ... They were wealthy and in most cases, Free ,very much like the Louisiana Creoles, but their Culture was a bit different than that of the Louisiana Creole..
Creoles are Worldwide...Brazil ,The Caribbean Islands, Cuba, Porto Rico ,South America , Haiti, and the Islands, off the coast of Africa, just to name a few, all have substantial Creole Inhabitants.. Creoles are Black, White and Mixed Race....In most cases If someone shares the Creole Cultural experience then He or She is Creole...The Cultural identity defines a True Creole
Thanks Augustine
