Beginning with the Powhatan Wars of 1610-1646 and concluding with the Third Seminole War of 1855-1858, author Michael Ports has assembled all the pertinent facts related to the scores of battles or campaigns that arose as clashes of civilizations on the advancing frontier.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart One summarizes what we know about the twenty-seven separate and distinct Indian wars in or involving the American South, a region here defined by the four southern colonies of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia; the states that were formed from their original territory, Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, and West Virginia; and the states of Florida and Louisiana. Ports presents the discussion of each war in terms of background causes, the campaigns itself, and, the aftermath. Whenever possible, the names of the commanding officers, names of the military units, battle locations, numbers of casualties, and dates are included. Each chapter in Part One (e.g., Tuscarora War, 1711-1715; Pontiac's War, 1763; Second Creek War, 1836-1837) concludes with (1) a \"Points of Interest\" section that identifies and illustrates selected national, state, and local parks and historical sites, museums, historical markers, etc., that commemorate the people, events, and places that were part of the wars, and (2) a Further Reading section of selected published works.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart Two of this guide is a discussion of the surviving records that document the military and civilian participation in the wars. The first section covers important national repositories like the National Archives, Army Center of Military History, and the Library of Congress. Next comes a description of the archives of the subject eleven states and provides some insight into genealogical research in those states. The third section on records deals with the archives, libraries, and museums of the Five Civilized Tribes, followed by a fourth section devoted to the famous Draper Manuscript Collection. The last section presents other significant repositories, arranged geographically, including genealogical and historical societies, museums, libraries, manuscript collections, hereditary societies, and a few other miscellaneous sources. If your ancestor lived on, or even near, the Southern frontier, the chances are good that he fought in a conflict or he and his family were affected by it. For example, if your ancestor settled in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia in the 1750s, it is likely that he or his family were part of the French and Indian War or the ensuing First Cherokee War.

Settlement of the region by the British did not take place until 1732 when James Oglethorpe established the colony of Georgia as a refuge for English debtors, paupers, and discharged prisoners. Scottish immigration to the colony commenced almost at the same time, however, and was made up of two distinct categories of immigrants: Lowlanders and Highlanders. Lowlanders immigrated for purely economic reasons, as farmers and later as merchants; while Highlanders were recruited to the colony for strategic purposes, basically to guard the southern frontier from Spanish incursions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSomewhat later, at the conclusion of the French and Indian War in 1763, the Spanish withdrew from Florida. The removal of the Spanish threat and the acquisition of new lands by the British led to an influx of settlers, including Scots, into Florida and as far west as Mobile.

The destruction of slavery as a result of the war, followed by emancipation, the uncertainties of freedom, and the harsh reimposition of white supremacy, defined the New South era.
