Can I make a colony where the poor can come to make new lives for themselves?
Georgia was run by James Oglethorpe as a trustee colony. Alcohol, Slaves, and having too much land was prohibited.
Well, I'm here!
He quickly befriended Tomochichi and the Yamacraw Tribe...
Hello, I'm James Oglethorpe.
I'm Tomochichi of the Yamacraw Tribe.
...but the colony didn't make enough money for the king.
Your colony is not generating me enough money, so I am reclaiming it for myself.
Now that Georgia is a Royal colony, the rich were given advantages over the less fortunate people.
Georgia remained a royal colony for 23 years, and in that time, it had three governors. Georgia then became part of the USAafter the country declared its independence.
