This chapter examines the tensions of colonial power and their unintended consequences, with particular reference to the Yamasee War of 1715 and the construction of Fort Moore in South Carolina. More precisely, it juxtaposes two dimensions of English colonialism in the late 1600s and 1700s: first is the discourse concerning the place of Native Americans during England's sixteenth- and seventeenth-century imperial expansion into Southeastern North America; second is the lived reality among colonials and Native Americans at Fort Moore. The chapter highlights the contradictions between imperial prescriptions and everyday practices, especially in relation to the spatial management of people to offset fears of racial and cultural contamination between coloniser and Native living along the morally dangerous frontier.
