Question

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

Answer 1

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

B Indigenous power declined, while colonial power increased.

The Yamasee War (1715–1717) led to significant changes in the balance of power in the region, resulting in a decline of Indigenous influence and an increase in colonial dominance as British settlers fortified their settlements and expanded their control over the land.
