The South-Carolina and American General Gazette was an 18th-century newspaper published in colonial Charleston, South Carolina. The paper was founded as The South-Carolina Weekly Gazette in 1758 by Robert Wells and G. Bruce, and changed names to The South-Carolina and American General Gazette in 1764. Aside from some periods of suspension during the American Revolutionary War, it published until February 1781. When Charleston and the paper fell under British control, it published under the title The Royal Gazette from March 1781 and into 1782. Wells was a loyalist and left for England in 1775 once war seemed inevitable, and the paper was continued by his son John Wells.
