Africans accompany Spanish colonizer Lucas Vasquez de Ayllon

on his expedition northward on the Florida peninsula; a

settlement, San Miguel, is erected within the borders

of what is present-day Georgetown, SC; the colony

lasts only one year, as over half of the Spanish die; the

Africans eventually revolt, set fire to the settlement,

and settle among Native Americans; these Africans

are the first non-Native Americans to live permanently

in the Western Hemisphere.
