Detailed explanation-1: -Between 1735 and 1750 Georgia was the only British American colony to attempt to prohibit Black slavery as a matter of public policy. The decision to ban slavery was made by the founders of Georgia, the Trustees.
Detailed explanation-2: -The charter granted colonists the rights of Englishmen but did not allow local government, and though it granted religious liberty, it banned Roman Catholics and Jews, though Jews were among the earliest Georgia settlers.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Charter specifically denied Catholics the right to worship in the Georgia colony. Historically, the Spanish were Roman Catholic and Georgia’s founders feared that Catholic settlers might be sympathetic to the Spanish if conflict erupted between the two world powers.
