'In 1711, when the Tuscarora Indians attacked the North Carolina settlement at New Bern and were on the verge of annihilating that colony, New Bern asked Virginia and South Carolina for assistance. Virginia did not respond, but South Carolina sent two separate expeditions. Led by John Barnwell and James Moore Jr., a handful of white South Carolinians and hundreds of Indian allies destroyed the Tuscarora. The war cost South Carolina £4,000 currency ($75,500) and fifty-seven dead.'-South Carolina: A History by Walter Edgar, University of South Carolina Press, 1998, page 98
