CHAPTER VI CONCERNING THE BEGINNINGS OF THE ENGLISH OCCUPATION OF THE COUNTRY OF GUALE; THE COMPLAINTS OF THE GOVERNOR OF FLORIDA TO THE GOVERNOR OF CAROLINA AND OF THE COURT OF SPAIN TO THAT OF LONDON; THE RESULTS OBTAINED IN THE MATTER; AND THE FULL PROOF OF THE USURPATION 1. By the series of events and of undeniable proofs concisely deduced and set forth up to here it is shown that Great Britain never has had the right to possess the country lying south of Charleston; and that it has always belonged, and now belongs, to the crown of Spain; likewise, that if article 7 of the treaty of 1670, which Spain has observed with all strictness, had not intervened, England would have had no claim even to the region included between Charleston and Cape Henry.
