Enslaved Native Americans and the Making Of Colonial South Carolina

In "Enslaved Native Americans and the Making of Colonial South Carolina," D. Andrew Johnson presents a thorough examination of the significant yet often overlooked role of Native Americans within the colony's enslaved population. By analyzing extensive documentary sources and creating a comprehensive database, Johnson highlights how these individuals were integral to the region's economic and cultural development. Using interdisciplinary methods, including spatial analysis and archaeological evidence, the work rethinks South Carolina's history through the lens of enslaved Native people who contributed to the plantations' labor force.
