Why does SC have a more "genteel" image than other Southern states?

People tend to associate SC more with Southern gentlemen and belles, and less with pickup trucks and NASCAR. Why?

Charleston was the richest city in the 13 colonies due to trade and agriculture and slavery. The "genteel" vibes come from that area but definitely does not apply to the rest of the state.

South Carolina has had an outsized impact on US history and politics though.

Only South Carolinians believe this crap. The rest of us know the entire South is teeming with racist poseurs.

Charleston and plantation culture are the only things anyone outside the state knows about the state.
