Abstract:

Both the French and Spanish had success raiding commercial vessel off both of the Carolina's coast between 1739 and 1748. This privateering had disastrous effects to British shipping despite the Royal Navy positioning ships off the coast. Privateering only ended after the Treaty of Aix-la-Chappelle in 1748.
