Additional Description: The Revolutionary War was a key factor in permitting settlement of Upstate South Carolina. The Cherokee Indians were allied with the British and fought against the American Patriots; as a result, the Cherokee lost their land in South Carolina in 1777. After the Revolutionary War, grants of land in the Upstate were given to veterans and other settlers. The western corner of this land eventually became Oconee County.
