English settlements south of Charleston were a violation of the treaty of 1670
By the treaty of 1670 the principle of actual possession was agreed upon by Spain and England; this compact legalized England's ownership as far south as Charleston, and Spain's as far north as Santa Elena Sound, in 32°, 30' north latitude. Therefore, the subsequent English raids on the Georgia establishments, and all English settlements south of Charleston, were a violation of Spain's rights based on actual settlement, and an infraction of the treaty of 1670.
