geo.wikisort.org - IslandThe Sea Islands are a chain of tidal and barrier islands on the Atlantic Ocean coast of the Southeastern United States. Numbering over 100, they are located between the mouths of the Santee and St. Johns Rivers along the coast of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. The largest of these is Johns Island in South Carolina. The Sea Islands, particularly Sapelo Island, are home to the Gullah people. The islands are very acutely threatened by sea level rise due to Climate Change.[1]

History
Settled by indigenous cultures over thousands of years, the islands were selected by Spanish colonists as sites for founding of colonial missions. Historically the Spanish influenced the Guale and Mocama chiefdoms by establishing Christian missions in their major settlements, from St. Catherine's Island south to Fort George Island (at present-day Jacksonville, Florida).[2] The area was home to multiple plantations; in 1863 Fanny Kemble published Journal of a Residence on a Georgian Plantation in 1838–1839 about her experience on her husband's plantations in St. Simon's Island and Butler Island.[3]
After President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation became effective on January 1, 1863, more than 5,000 slaves on Union-occupied islands obtained their freedom.[4]

[de] Sea Islands
Mit Sea Islands (engl. „Meeresinseln“) wird eine dem nordamerikanischen Festland vorgelagerte Inselkette im Atlantik vor der südöstlichen Küste der Vereinigten Staaten bezeichnet. Sie besteht überwiegend aus Gezeiteninseln und Sandbänken, insgesamt werden über 100 dieser Inseln gezählt. Die Inselkette verläuft zwischen der Mündung des Santee River und der des St. Johns River auf den Gebieten der Bundesstaaten South Carolina, Georgia und Florida. Die Inseln sind historisch vor allem wegen der ausgeprägten kreolischen Kultur der Gullah bekannt. Aktuell entwickeln sich die Sea Islands sehr schnell zu einem Erholungs-, Freizeit- und Wohngebiet.
