article claims colleton brought slaves to sc ... when he died before it was founded
Concur; the settlement of SC began in 1670 at or near present day Charleston (although explorers or hunters may have wandered into SC earlier. They would not have had slaves or a slave trade). The article doesn't explain that the Carolinas colony then included North and South Carolina, and that the first colonization of the old colony known as Carolina took place in the Albemarle Settlements in the extreme NE of what is now North Carolina in the 1650s I believe....In any event, North American slavery began with a Dutch ship trading slaves for supplies in Jamestown, Va sometime in the 1620s(?) - not in SC. If no one objects, I'll delete that sentence in the article ("This began the institution of slavery in the New World".)... Engr105th (talk) 10:00, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
