South Carolina.
At one time, the state flag flying over the Capital when they seceeded was on display in the Iowa Capital, brought here by Iowans who took part in the capture of Columbia in 1865.

South Carolina was the first state to secede from the United States on December 20, 1860. President James Buchanan took little action, preferring to let the newly elected President Abraham Lincoln decide the matter. On April 12, 1861, State batteries began shelling Fort Sumter, which stands on an island in Charleston harbor, thus precipitating the Civil War. Students from The Citadel were among those firing the first shots of the war, though Edmund Ruffin is usually credited with firing the first shot.
