Indians of the Southern Colonies - the Tuscarora Indian War
the Yamasee Uprising in 1715, they lived relatively peacefully with the colonists. After the Carolina uprisings, the Catawba incorporated several smaller tribes into their own. Despite this, their population was in decline. A smallpox epidemic in 1738 killed over half of the 1400 who were left, and after years of tribal warfare and another epidemic in 1759-60, the Catawba's role in colonial history was at an end.
** Author's note: There are several other tribes who played a role in the colonial history of the Carolina's, and I was not able to touch on the tribes found in Georgia in this article. For further reading on these and other tribes, please see the following online and paper resources:
