USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Georgia Trustees prohibited slavery because it conflicted with their vision of small landowners prospering from their own labor. They also wanted Georgia to serve as a military buffer between the English colonies and Spanish Florida.

Detailed explanation-2: -The colony of the Province of Georgia under James Oglethorpe banned slavery in 1735, the only one of the thirteen colonies to have done so. However, it was legalized by royal decree in 1751, in part due to George Whitefield’s support for the institution of slavery.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Georgia was established in part as an experiment, based on ideals lost in the other colonies’ growth, and to provide the mother country with raw goods. The southern location and warm climate of Georgia led many to believe it would be suitable for the cultivation of silk and fruits.
