Guale
The Guale were an indigenous people and chiefdom of the coast of present-day Georgia, between St. Catherines Island and the Altamaha River. From the 1570s Spanish Franciscans built a chain of missions among them, and in 1597 they rose against the missionaries in the Guale Revolt. Weakened by disease and by raids from English Carolina and its allies, the survivors withdrew towards St. Augustine around 1700.
