SEE PHOTO(s) - COMPLETE ORIGINAL NEWSPAPER, the Edinburgh Eevening Courant (Scotland) dated August 20. This original newspaper contains compelling news from the American Colonies during the French and Indian War, as well as a front-page red half-penny tax stamp, similar to the ones which would eventually lead the colonists toward Revolution.

Although South Carolina had little military involvement in the French and Indian War, the war led to the Cherokee War in South Carolina. (Thirty years before the French and Indian War, French fur traders had moved into the upstate region. English settlers were prompted to seek a treaty with the Cherokee to prevent them from befriending the French. The Cherokee interpreted this treaty to be an alliance, but the British saw it as an acknowledgement of British sovereignty (rule). Peace lasted for 30 years, but was broken during the French and Indian War.) Although the Cherokee favored the British, the British failed to protect the Cherokee when the French and their Indian allies attacked. Cherokee warriors, feeling cheated by the British, took possession of horses belonging to settlers. British settlers attacked and the Cherokee retaliated. The royal governor of South Carolina tried to control the Cherokee by stopping all trade and taking Cherokee peace representatives as hostages. The Cherokee War lasted about two years and resulted in many deaths among the Cherokee. The treaty that ended the French and Indian War forced the Cherokee to give up much of their land and created a boundary dividing the South Carolina colony and the Cherokee territory.
