SAVANNAH, GEORGIA WAS FOUNDED IN 1733 BEFORE THAT THE ENTIRE COAST OF GEORGIA WAS SETTLED BY PIRATES, INDIAN TRADERS AND SMUGGLERS, SOUTH CAROLINA HAD BEEN A BOOMING, SUCCESSFUL COLONY SINCE 1660 AND WAS A FAVORITE HUNTING GROUND FOR THESE
OPPORTUNISTS.
IT WAS A PLACE OF TEMPORARY SOJOURN AND REFRESHMENT FOR A LITERALLY FLOATING POPULATION, THE PIRATES WERE DEFINITELY THE ARISTOCRACY OF THIS NO MAN'S LAND, THEN CAME THE INDIAN TRADERS, THE SMUGGLERS AND THE HANGERS-ON. ALL OF THIS MOTLEY BAND LIVED WELL, THEY WERE FREE FROM ANY RESTRAINTS, THEY HAD PLENTY TO EAT AND MORE TO DRINK.
