    I believe the Spanish abandoned its colony in Georgia due to severe drought during the little ice age.

    My family were early settlers in Ebenezer, we arrived in 1642. The Spanish were run off by the Indians who harrassed them endlessly. The Spanish penetration of Georgia was shallow, they built missions along the coast that were also raided by pirates. Florida was the stronghold of the Spanish in what later became America, and this is where they consolidated settlements in later years.
