The Yamasee as a people have always been ethnically mixed, and in the aftermath of the Yamasee War they split apart.

About a third of the survivors had chosen to settle among the Lower Creek, eventually becoming part of the emerging Creek confederacy.

Most of the rest, joined by Apalachicola refugees, had moved to the vicinity of St. Augustine in the summer of 1715.

Despite several attempts to make peace, by both South Carolinians and Yamasee individuals, conflict between the two will continue for decades.

The Yamasee of Spanish Florida will in time be weakened by disease and other factors, and the survivors will become part of the Seminoles.
