"An Historical Account of the Rise and Progress of the Colonies of South Carolina and Georgia" by Alexander Hewatt is a historical work that recounts the story of two colonies as settlers met Native Americans and formed governments. The narrative starts with stability brought by the transition to royal rule in South Carolina, recounts Sir Alexander Cumming’s journey to create peace with the Cherokees via alliance, and the subsequent voyage of Cherokee chiefs to England to declare their loyalty to King George. The title explores early settlers' experiences, from making agreements with Native tribes to controlling trade, reflecting the many different impacts on these growing societies. The book presents the political, social, and economic conditions, laying the foundation for understanding the nuances of colonial life during this period.
