Death of Spanish magistrate settler, slaver, Lucas Vázquez de Ayllón and the failure of the San Miguel de Gualdape colony in South Carolina Burning of the Plaine du Cap.
The exact location of the failed colony is somewhat debated however it was most likely somewhere near Winyah Bay, South Carolina. Ayllon and a slaving party had landed there in 1521 and kidnapped ~60 Indigenous peoples including Francisco de Chicora. He returned in 1526 with ~600 settlers and slaves. The failure of this colony is notable for many reasons, not least of which is that these enslaved Africans he brought were the first enslaved Africans to be brought to what would become the continental US and thus the first who led a slave revolt. Also notable is that Francisco de Chicora, who was brought as a guide to help with trade with the local Indigenous population, promptly deserted the settlers and returned to his people. The settlers quickly developed problems with human waste in their water source causing outbreaks of dysentery and other diseases. Things deteriorated quickly for the settlers after their leaders death. Around the same time settlers forced themselves on a local village to demand supplies which the village resisted and the settlers were killed. Enslaved Africans burned down one of the shacks of Doncel, a would-be replacement leader. By mid-November all settlers had left. Approximately ~150 of the 600 survived. It is unclear from the documentation what happened the enslaved people. It's possible they escaped and joined the local Indigenous peoples but nothing is recorded.
