San Miguel de Guadalupe of 1526
Founded in 1526, San Miguel de Guadalupe was the first European settlement inside what is now the United States mainland, which some scholars speculate was near present-day Georgia’s Sapelo Island (McIntosh County, Ga.).
The first group of Africans to set foot in this territory rose up in rebellion and fought their oppressors before fleeing into the interior and presumably settling with the Native Americans. This incident is the first documented slave revolution in North America.
