"An Historical Account of the Rise and Progress of the Colonies of South Carolina and Georgia" by Alexander Hewatt is a historical account written in the late 18th century. The book explores the development of the southern colonies, with a particular emphasis on their significance within the broader context of American colonization. In its examination, it aims to illuminate the underappreciated and often neglected aspects of these provinces, providing insights into their
historical, economic, and social dynamics. The opening of the text sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of early colonial history, beginning with reflections on the discoveries of the New World and the various motivations for European exploration. The author discusses significant figures like Christopher Columbus and John Cabot, as well as the early settlements, challenges, and interactions with Indigenous populations. The preface indicates that this work stems from Hewatt’s personal experiences and observations while residing in Charlestown, South Carolina, where he collected original documents and accounts to develop this historical narrative. This promises readers a detailed and nuanced view into the complexities of colonial life, governance, and the foundational moments that shaped the southern colonies.
