1712 CE
The allied native tribes kill hundreds of settlers, including several key political figures among the colonists.
The division of the Carolina colony into North and South is complete by 1712, although the same proprietors continue to control both colonies.
Governor Edward Hyde had called out the northern Carolina militia and secured the assistance of southern Carolina, which provides six hundred militia and three hundred and sixty allied natives under Col. Barnwell.
This force in 1712 attacks the southern Tuscarora and other nations in Craven County at Fort Narhontes, on the banks of the Neuse River.
Hyde dies on September 8, 1712, of yellow fever.
