How did the economy of the Cold War period in South Carolina compare to that of the rest of the country

South Carolina enjoyed huge economic growth.

Explanation:

The cold war was the period of ideological and military competition that occured between the United States and the Soviet Union. It began after the World War II and lasted till the Soviet collapse in 1991.

During the cold war, South Carolina sent some of its people to help the nation and as a result, South Carolina gained new population groups with new waves of defense, educational, economic, and transportation activity. This led to economic growth in the state. Many South Carolinians had greater opportunities working.

Many South Carolina's citizens also joined the armed forces. After the war, most of the returning veterans did not go back to their farmwork as they started working in mills and other industries.
