Hernando De Soto’s

Spanish explorers were the first Europeans to explore the coastal regions of present-day South Carolina. In 1521, Francisco Gordillo sailed to the Carolina coast from his base in Santo Domingo; no settlement was attempted, but several dozen Native Americans were enslaved.

Hernando de Soto came from Spain to explore South Carolina. He searched for gold, silver, and slaves. Jean Ribault came from France to explore South Carolina. He built a fort called Charlesfort.
