Those interested in the early colonial history of South Carolina and the southeastern borderlands will find much to discover in Carolina's Lost Colony in which historian Peter N. Moore examines the dual colonization of Port Royal at the end of the seventeenth century. From the east came Scottish Covenanters, who established the small outpost of Stuarts Town. Meanwhile, the Yamasee arrived from the south and west. These European and Indigenous colonizers made common cause as they sought to rival the English settlement of Charles Town to the north and the Spanish settlement of St. Augustine to the south. Also present were smaller Indigenous communities that had long populated the Atlantic sea islands. It is a global story whose particulars played out along a small piece of the Carolina coast. Religious idealism and commercial realities came to a head as the Scottish settlers made informal alliances with the Yamasee and helped to reinvigorate the Indian slave trade--setting in motion a series of events that transformed the region into a powder keg of colonial ambitions, unleashing a chain of hostilities, realignments, displacement, and destruction that forever altered the region"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on October 27, 2022) Subject Yamasee Indians -- South Carolina -- History -- 17th century Scots -- South Carolina -- History -- 17th century Enslaved Indians -- South Carolina -- History -- 17th century Slave trade -- South Carolina -- History -- 17th century HISTORY / United States / State & Local / South (AL, AR, FL, GA, KY, LA, MS, NC, SC, TN, VA, WV) HISTORY / United States / Colonial Period (1600-1775) Enslaved Indians Scots Slave trade Yamasee Indians SUBJECT Stuart's Town (S.C.) -- History -- 17th century Port Royal (S.C.) -- History -- 17th century South Carolina -- History -- Colonial period, ca. 1600-1775. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85125555 Subject South Carolina South Carolina -- Port Royal Genre/Form History Form Electronic book LC no. 2022034868 ISBN 164336362X 9781643363622
