HA!! 

They may have destroyed Carolina’s Stuart Town, but it looks like Charles Town will be saved!! A hurricane has hit Charles Town in Carolina RIGHT as the Spaniards were going to attack. The bad weather screwed up their plans and most of the ships didn’t make it. Supposedly the main ship was beached and the Spanish general drowned.

Looks like we won’t be traveling to Florida after all!

Karma’s a bitch, ain’t it?!!?

stuart town burns down!

Jeez, these Spaniards have some serious anger management issues!!

Scotland came ashore Carolina a couple years ago and built Stuart Town. Unfortunately, the town has now been burned to the ground by a bunch of angry Spaniards from Florida

Normally we’re for peace, but this was soooo uncalled for! Our new policy: Eye for an eye!! Let’s organize a ship to Florida and burn their houses down!!

Who’s with us?!?!

We smell a recipe for DISASTER.

In return for their loyalty and efforts to restore the King to his throne while the monarchy was overthrown in EnglandKing Charles II is rewarding the loyal men by giving them the land of Carolina. They have each been named a “Lord Proprietor,” a title which allows the men to govern with as much independence as the King himself. 

Ohhhh, right, because the older men get the more likely they are to share.

Ha!
