Answer 1

The statement that best explains the effects of the Yamasee War on the restructuring of settlements and shift in power in South Carolina is:

• Indigenous power declined, while colonial power increased.

The Yamasee War (1715-1717) led to significant losses for several Indigenous groups in the region, diminishing their influence and control. In contrast, the war strengthened colonial authority and led to the expansion and consolidation of British settlements in South Carolina.
