Answer 1

Correct answer: Indigenous power declined, while colonists gained more land, wealth, and reliance on enslaved Africans.

Explanation: The Yamasee War (1715–1717) devastated many Native communities, weakened their power and bargaining position, and led South Carolina colonists to seize indigenous lands and expand rice and indigo plantations. Planters increasingly turned to enslaved Africans for labor rather than relying on Native labor or alliances.
