Everything about The Apalachee Massacre totally explained
The
Apalachee Massacre was an episode that took place during
Queen Anne's War in 1704.
In 1704, the ex-
governor of
South Carolina James Moore launched an invasion of the
Apalachee territory in western
Florida with 50 Englishmen and 1,000
Creek. They targeted the Apalachee because of the 14
Spanish Franciscan missions which had been established there for roughly a century. Moore's forces defeated the combined Spanish and Apalachee forces (which consisted of about 30 Spaniards and 400 Apalachees) lead by Captain Mexia.
All but one of the Spanish missions was destroyed and Moore's forces looted the area, capturing about 1,400
catholic Apalachees who were then sold into
slavery. Many other Apalachees were killed during the invasion, while some fled westwards accepting an offer to live in French-controlled
Mobile. Others were forced to resettle along the
Savannah River to live in a state of semi-serfdom.
