Abstract:

In 1711, North Carolina's non-Indian population was only 9500 comprised mostly of German Palatines and Swiss settlers who had arrived to establish a colony on the Trent and Neuse Rivers. The settlers made good progress near New Bern until the Tuscarora Massacre in September 1711. New Bern lay under siege for twenty-two weeks.
