Spanish Alarm
text:
The Spanish Alarm was a period from 1739 to 1748 in North America during the War of Jenkins' Ear between Britain and Spain. During this period, the Spanish Crown directed colonial forces to attack port towns in the British colonies of North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. Due to an inability to garrison these colonies with an adequate military presence, the British Crown encouraged them to raise militia to defend themselves against Spanish attacks.
