Governor Lyttleton returns to Charleston, but the Cherokee are still angry, and continue to attack frontier settlements into 1760.

In February 1760, they attack  Fort Prince George in an attempt to rescue their hostages.

The fort's commander is killed.

His replacement massacres all of the hostages and fends off the attack.

The Cherokee also attack Fort Ninety Six, but it withstands the siege.

The Cherokee expand  their retaliatory campaign into North Carolina, as far east as modern day Winston-Salem.

An attack on Fort Dobbs in North Carolina is repulsed by General Hugh Waddell.

However, lesser settlements in the North and South Carolina back-country quickly fall to Cherokee raids.

Governor Lyttleton appeals for help to Jeffrey Amherst, the British commander in North America.

Amherst sends Archibald Montgomerie with an army of twelve hundred troops (the Royal Scots and Montgomerie's Highlanders) to South Carolina.

Montgomerie's campaign razes some of the Cherokee Lower Towns, including Keowee.

It ends with a defeat at Echoee (Itseyi) Pass when Montgomerie tried to enter the Middle Towns territory.

Later in 1760, the Overhill Cherokee defeat  the British colonists at Fort Loudoun and take it over.
