Detailed explanation-1: -Spain claimed the territory for its own colony of Florida and disputed what was regarded as an illegal occupation by the British settlers. The Convention of Pardo in 1739 had attempted to settle the dispute, but Spain still refused to abandon its claim.
Detailed explanation-2: -How did the French attitude toward Native Americans differ from that found in the Spanish colonies? The French treated the Native Americans with respect, learned their languages, and lived among them. The Spanish often enslaved or killed the Native Americans and took their wealth.
Detailed explanation-3: -France and Spain, for instance, were governed by autocratic sovereigns whose rule was absolute; their colonists went to America as servants of the Crown. The English colonists, on the other hand, enjoyed far more freedom and were able to govern themselves as long as they followed English law and were loyal to the king.
Detailed explanation-4: -Defense. The most important reason for Georgia’s founding was defense, primarily against the Spanish in Florida. In the 1730’s, South Carolina was a profitable British colony that was threatened by Spanish military outposts in Florida. The Georgia colony’s role was to serve as a military “buffer” between the two.
