Short answer — where was it?
- The Yamasee War (1715–1717) took place in colonial South Carolina: chiefly in the Lowcountry and frontier settlements around Charleston and along rivers such as the Ashley, Cooper, Edisto and Savannah. Fighting also spread into the interior/backcountry and onto what is now southeastern Georgia and northeastern Florida.
If you want the full 5 W’s (brief):
- Who: The Yamasee and several allied Native towns (and in places other Native groups/Creek towns) versus British colonists of South Carolina (with colonial militia and some allied tribes); enslaved Africans were also involved in parts of the conflict.
- What: A large Native uprising against colonial authority that attacked settlements, killed settlers, and disrupted the colony’s economy and frontier.
- When: 1715–1717.
- Where: Colonial South Carolina (Lowcountry and frontier), with raids extending into present-day southeastern Georgia and northeastern Florida.
- Why: Longstanding grievances over trade abuses, unfair credit/debt practices, land loss, and the enslavement and mistreatment of Native people by colonists.
If you want more detail about specific battles, tribes involved, or consequences, tell me which part you want.
