Huguenots did establish a French Protestant colony on the coast of South Carolina in the 1600s. I know because I am descended from them.

Fascinating to consider what might of been in France if they did not driven out the Huguenots who were the roots of an emergent middle class. France lost much by driving out the Huguenots

The reason they went to SC was because the Spanish pretty much wiped them out in Florida.

La Florida was a brutal place at times.
