Summary "An Historical Account of the Rise and Progress of the Colonies of South Carolina and Georgia" by Alexander Hewatt is a historical account written during the mid-18th century. The book chronicles the establishment and development of the two colonies, detailing the interactions between European settlers and Native Americans, the formation of governments, and various social and economic challenges faced by the settlers. At the start of the second volume, the text outlines the legal framework of governance established in South Carolina, highlighting the transition from proprietary to royal rule which brought stability to the colony. It introduces Sir Alexander Cumming's mission to secure peace with the Cherokees through an alliance and the subsequent journey of Cherokee chiefs to England, where they affirm their loyalty to King George. The author describes the hopes and hardships faced by early settlers, including treaties with Indigenous tribes and attempts to regulate trade while underscoring the diverse influences that shaped these burgeoning societies. The narrative sets a detailed context of the political, social, and economic landscape, providing a foundation for understanding the complexities of colonial existence in this era.
