The first wave of English settlers to southern Carolina, sailed from Barbados looking for beginnings in the “new world,”.
William Sayle sailed up the Ashley River with three shiploads of English emigrants from the Barbados. They arrived in April 1670. These English settlers established the settlement of Albermarle Point.
Accompanying the wealthy colonial landowners were African American slaves, and white indentured servants. They pitched their tents on its banks and built a town, which has since wholly disappeared.
“The first wave of settlers, sailing from Barbados looking for new beginnings in the “new world,” arrived in April 1670. These English settlers established the settlement of Albermarle Point, which would later become known as Charlestowne. Accompanying the wealthy colonial landowners were African American slaves, and white indentured servants. Charlestowne’s success as a colony is attributed to the success of England’s settlement of Barbados.”
What was your point? That the tents had wholly disappeared?
