Having invested a fortune in the colony, the Proprietors hoped that new immigrants would stimulate its economy. Although Charleston Town suffered its first epidemic of malaria in 1684 and 1685, the campaign to attract Dissenters nevertheless succeeded grandly. Pamphlets distributed in Europe depicted Carolina as a haven of religious toleration and when Louis XIV, in October 1685, revoked the Edict of Nantes, which had guaranteed the rights of Huguenots in France, Charleston Town was one of the places they fled to; and from England, Scotland, and Ireland. Quakers, Jews, Presbyterians, and Baptists joined them.
