Synopsis
Excerpt from The Charleston City Guide: Containing a Full and Accurate Description of All Places of Interest in and Around the City, and Other Useful Matter
A. D. 1720. In 1720, the city had greatly outgrown the fortifications, and to the north and west of the old wall there lay a large tract to defend with inadequate means. Fears were entertained that the pirates, successors of those who had but forty years before been not only allies but actually of the town and who originally had been sent out to war upon the Spaniards, but interpreted their commission to be general letters of reprisal, would fall upon the place and plunder and destroy it as they had other settlements along the coast; the French too began to add to the cloud of dangers which hovered around the precarious condition of the colony and its capital. Amid all this the colonists and especially those of Charlestown, stood up manfully for their personal rights, dreading less the attacks of civilized and savage enemies than the encroachments of their rulers.
