I am not looking for the reasons as to why South Carolina succeeded. I have the reasons why the Articles failed, but I need to know what South Carolina's stance on this was.

I suspect the general consensus was, "I'm glad that is over."
The Kenneth Stampp piece will probably have some ideas of good sources to consult or watch for, as is the Yale Library list on the matter. Good luck.

Your assertion of the Articles of Confederation is misleading sense the original Articles are the pact signed by all of the Colonies prior to the writing of the constitution!
As for the South Carolina view of the failed Confederacy, what state save Virginia could have felt more humiliated! After all they fired the first shot and many cities were in shambles leading to a mass depression!
Subsequently, look at the fall of Reconstruction and the Supreme Court Cases on Peonage that tried to address the South's attempt to resurrect itself!

Well all states recognized the inefficacy of the Articles of Confederation. South Carolina was against a strong national government (as were most of the southern states), especially when it threatened slavery and the slave trade.
