Settlement

When war began, North Carolina leaders fortified the coast against possible invasion. However, unprotected western frontier settlements were considered at risk from Native Americans friendly to the French until the construction of Fort Dobbs. Thereafter, during periods of extreme danger, colonists occasionally left their homes and camped near the protective log walls of the fort.
