B) as a defensive buffer for the valuable Carolinas. Motivation for Founding: In 1732, James Oglethorpe was given a charter from King George II to create a new colony which he would name Georgia. This was located between South Carolina and Florida. It had two main purposes: to serve as a place where debtors in prison could go to start anew and it served as a barrier against Spanish expansion from Florida. Significant Events: In 1733, a group of settlers joined Oglethorpe to found Savannah, Georgia. Georgia began with the intention to have little landholding and no slavery. However, when it became a royal colony in 1752, plantations and slavey became a major part of the Georgian economy.

What are some facts of the colony of Georgia?
Originally, Britain did not directly rule over Georgia. The king granted James Oglethorpe and several other trustees to rule over the colony of Georgia.Slavery was initially not allowed in Georgia under trustee rule. It was the only colony at the time not to have slaves.Rum and alcohol were completely banned in Georgia under trustee rule.One of the reasons Georgia was created was to serve as a buffer state between Spanish held Florida and English South Carolina.Tying into the last fact, Catholics were strictly not allowed in Georgia. This was due to the recent war between England and Spain, with England emerging victorious with some Spanish land gained after the war, which became Georgia. The Spanish were intent on converting people to become Catholic, and as there was already tension between Protestants and Catholics after and during the Protestant Reformation.Oglethorpe wanted for Georgia to become a utopia in a way, where hard work was what paid off and people didn’t get drunk every night and/or burn their money on alcohol. He didn’t want for slave labor to be implemented, as it was immoral and cruel.Georgia’s trustee rule lasted for only 20 years, because of several reasons. The people were greatly unhappy with the rules the trustees had implemented. They wanted alcohol, slave labor, and large plantations. Oglethorpe and the other trustees grew tired of the unhappiness among the people and handed it over to the kind one year short of their charter granted by the king.Georgia was the youngest colony, and was extremely dependent on Great Britain for its economy. This caused Georgia to be viewed with suspicion by the other colonies during the events leading up to the American Revolution. The other colonies had to blockade Georgia’s coast in order to convince them to join the revolution.After the French and Indian war, when the other colonies lost some of their land, Georgia instead gained land, further making Georgia unpopular with the other colonies leading up to the revolution.

What was the colony of Georgia known for producing?
Cotton wasn’t a big deal until the cotton gin was invented in 1793, at which point Georgia was a state, not a colony. As a colony, Georgia was largely undeveloped and mostly used as a trade port (around Savannah) and was largely agrarian (subsistence farming) in nature. Georgia actually banned slave labor until 1750.Once slavery began, rice and indigo were the two crops most commonly grown and were only grown in the low country. Interior Georgia was still almost entirely wilderness. It was almost definitely the least developed state at the time of American independence.
Why was the colonial economy established?
The relationship between “motherland” and colony is one of exploitation. The colony has something its establishing nation doesn’t have: resources, population, or finished products. The aim of the nation is to have the goods at a discounted price. For example, it costs money to hire people. In contrast, the requirements for enslavement are cheaper.
What do you know about the province of Georgia?
I am in extended social studies, so my class and the other extended S.S. classes have this project where we have to make a mobile about one of the 13 colonies. We chose out of a cup and of course, I got Georgia. I can't find anything about this colony! The things we are supposed to have on our mobile includes: Date Established Home Country Reason For Establishment Type of Government Colonial Region Economy The 1st Settlement Founder People & Any Other Important People Of The Colony (Ex. John Smith from Jamestown) I have been able to find the founder, the date established, the home country and the reason for the establishment. If you have any websites I could use with this information, I would be SO happy! Thank you!
