The colonists, being from different nations, were various in their characters and reli- gious creeds. Vandois, Swiss, Piedmontese, Germans, Mora- vians, Jews from Portugal, Highlanders, English, and Ital- ians were thrown together in this fine climate, new world, and new home. " "Round heads and cavaliers alike sought refuge in Car- olina, which, for a long time, remained a pet province of the proprietors. " *** "In 1674, when Nova Belgia, now New York, was conquered by the English, a number of... the Dutch from that place sought refuge in Carolina. The proprietors facilitated their desire, and provided the ship.^ which conveyed them to Charlestown. They were assigned lands on the southwest side of Ashley river, drew lots for their property, and founded a town which they called James- town, but which they afterwards deserted and spread them- selves throughout the country, where they were joined by greater numbers from ancient Belgia. Two vessels filled with foreign, perhaps French, prot- estants, were transported to Carolina, at the expense of 11 Charles II, in 1679 ; and the revocation of the edict of Nantz, a few years afterwards, by which the Huguenots were deprived of the only securities of life, liberty and for- tune which their previous struggles had left them, contribu- ted still more largely to the infant settlement, and provi- ded Carolina with some of the noblest portions of her growing population.
