Native Americans
Standard 1
PASS NEED TO KNOW’s
Native
Americans, Europeans, Africans
1.
The culture,
political systems and daily
life of the Yemassees, Cherokees
and Catawba were affected by the geography and land in which they lived. These
Native Americans of the Eastern woodlands used the rivers for transportation
and created weapons from rock and animal bones.
2.
Originally the Europeans
depended upon the Native Americans and their relationship was built around
deerskin trading, however, this relationship quickly deteriorated because of
broken treaties and land agreements resulting in war between the tribes and
settlers.
3.
Spain, France, and
England competed for land in the Carolinians to make their mother country rich.
Spain and France failed in their attempts to settle San Miguel de Gualdape, San
Felipe, and Charlesfort due to lack of supplies, leadership, and Native American
attacks. Britain (England) led by the King and the Lord proprietors learned from
the mistakes of the French and
Spanish and founded a
settlement at Albemarle Pont which became the first permanent colony known as
Charles Town.
4.
The slave trade during the
colonial period resulted in the rapid growth of the African American population
which helped to develop the culture (e.g. Gullah) and economy (e.g. rice) of SC.
The population imbalance (black’s outnumbered whites 4 to 1) led to the Stono
Rebellion which resulted in the slave codes restricting slave’s rights even
more.
5.
South Carolinas government
began as a Proprietary Colony and changed to a Royal Colony after the colonist
protested against the Lord Proprietors who were charging a quitrent and not
helping the colonists when needed.
6.
Several Settlers began to
move into the upcountry (backcountry) and soon the population in the upcountry
outnumbered that of the lowcountry, however the upcountry had much less
representation or voice in government. There was little law enforcement in the
upcountry so settlers formed vigilante groups and took matters into their own
hands which was called the regulators. The movement grew out of control when
innocent people were losing their live so finally the government provided aid
with the circuit court act stopping the violence.
7.
South Carolinians used
natural, human, and political resources to gain economic prosperity including
trade with Barbados, rice planting, Eliza Lucas Pinckney and indigo planting,
the slave trade, and the practice of mercantilism.
8.
SC was involved in the
military and economic rivalry between the French and the British as both were
trying to establish a place in SC. The French and Indian war (Great Britain v.
France and France’s Indian allies) later known as the seven years war impacted
SC by leading to the Cherokee war; helping to expand SC’s indigo trade after the
British was the war.
