A new menace now arose in the north. The English came up out of the Caribbean to settle on the very soil of old Santa Elena, next door to Santa Catalina. The impulse for the settlement of South Carolina came from the Antilles. Plantations there were playing out; new lands were needed; a "westward movement" to the mainland resulted. Sir John Colleton, Barbadian planter, interested a group of men in the Carolina country. A charter [1663-3-24] granted to eight Proprietors all the region from 36° to 31°. Two years later the paper boundaries were pushed south to 29°. Who cared that Spain at that very moment had, within the area granted, a line of settlements stretching up the coast for one hundred and fifty miles, some of them nearly a century old? Or that the grant included El Paso and Santa Fe?
