Sample Book Insights:
#1 The first female native Timucuan leader was named princess of the island for her strength and courage. In the 1700s, the British and Spanish fought for control of the island. The British built two forts to defend against the Spanish navy.
#2 Oglethorpe secured Cumberland Island and the Georgia coast in the Battle of Bloody Marsh in 1742, which marked the end of the Spanish occupation. The island became a refuge for pirates, criminals, and castaways, but was later used by Nathanael Greene to build a hunting lodge.
#3 In 1796, Caty and Nathanael Greene's friend and college classmate Eli Whitney presented his cotton gin to the couple, who were struggling with their cotton plantation. The machine separated cotton seeds from lint.
#4 The story of Eli Whitney and the cotton gin is one of the most famous examples of how the American economy was built on slavery. The machine could match the full day's labor of fifty slaves by cleaning cotton by hand in one hour.
