Funny. :) South Carolina wanted the exclusive in this little tiff (if you want to look at it that way). Maybe just to press their point, I don't know, but they weren't all that thrilled when other states jumped on their bandwagon and turned it into a very long, full fledged party.
If 'blame' is to be placed, I'd say both sides contributed to this little war. Both had different reasons. That is where the lessons come from today. The old 'winner take all' deal. That means the rights to editing History books. :(
