AI notes: In 1760, during the Anglo-Cherokee War (1758–1761), the Cherokee in South Carolina faced significant military pressure from British colonial forces. After a series of conflicts and defeats, a group of Cherokee leaders surrendered to the South Carolina colonial authorities. This surrender marked a turning point in the war, leading to peace negotiations and ultimately the Cherokee ceding lands to the British. The war severely weakened Cherokee power in the region and opened more territory for colonial expansion in South Carolina and the surrounding areas.
