Montgomery's Azilia project died
The collapse of the South Sea stock turned opinion strongly against all projectors. Transformed into a 'bubble,' so John Barnwell of South Carolina charged,25 the [Azilia] project disappeared with the ebbing of the tide of speculation. It left only a name on contemporary maps,26 and several interesting promotion pamphlets. [Note 26 See Herman Moll, A New Map of the North Parts of America claimed by France, 1720]
