Which of the following best explains the effects of the Yamasee War on the restructuring of settlements and shift in power in South Carolina?

Question

A. British colonizers lost powers in the region.
B. The trade of enslaved African people decreased.
C. Indigenous power declined, while colonial power increased.
D. Many British colonizers fled to Florida after the war.

Answer 1

C. Indigenous power declined, while colonial power increased.

The Yamasee War (1715-1717) was a significant conflict between British colonists in South Carolina and various Indigenous groups, including the Yamasee. The war resulted in a decline in Indigenous power in the region, as many Native American tribes were either defeated, displaced, or weakened. In contrast, colonial power increased as British colonists solidified their control over the territory and expanded their settlements in the aftermath of the war.
