In this engaging history, Daniel J. Tortora explores how the Anglo-Cherokee War reshaped the political and cultural landscape of the colonial South. Tortora chronicles the series of clashes that erupted from 1758 to 1761 between Cherokees, settlers, and British troops. Tortora reveals how the war destabilized the South Carolina colony and threatened the white coastal elite.


Commendation Quotes: Daniel J. Tortora's "Carolina in Crisis" is an original and insightful work with impressive scope. That the author is able to synthesize from such a vast array of sources a coherent and engaging narrative is truly extraordinary. I've only encountered a handful of books that come close to matching Tortora's work--a remarkable achievement.--Jim Piecuch, Kennesaw State UniversityCommendation Quotes: This is without a doubt a defining contribution on the Anglo-Cherokee War of 1759 1761. Until now, there has never been such a broadly conceived investigation of the Seven Years' War in South Carolina and how it shaped the intertwined histories of Anglo, Cherokee, and African peoples. Daniel J. Tortora weaves together a deeply researched and persuasive narrative on how the Seven Years' War shaped Carolina, its peoples, and indeed, the very origins of the American Revolution.--David L.
