This thesis explores Native, African, and European belief systems in the early to mid eighteenth-century colonial South. Between 1736 and 1743, Christian Gottlieb Priber, a German immigrant, devised a plan to establish a Kingdom of Paradise in Cherokee country. In this society, all goods would be held in common, and all peoples would be welcome and treated equally. Pribers scheme provides a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of Native, African, and European belief systems at this particular time and place. This thesis researches major concepts from each of these cultures in order to reveal a more holistic view of American religious history.
