So, let’s get started and explore this wonderful state!

Did you know that before the late sixteenth century few besides the Indian tribes knew of the Georgia territory? Even though, Hernando Desoto traveled through Georgia during his expedition in the 1500s, the growing interest in this area wasn’t until King Charles II granted Carolinas a land expansion in 1663. Georgia was not only the beginning of a new commonwealth, destined to become an important State of the American Union, but also the spirit and purpose led to the colonization of Georgia becoming one of the most significant events in its History. Even so, what was England’s purpose to partake in colonizing the thirteenth and final original colony? After much research, I found that there are many motives as to why England formed the colony of Georgia, but the significant intentions were to aid the unfortunates, to express the idea of mercantilism, and to set up defenses against Spanish Florida.

It was the constant trade to get slaves which made the colonists depend on slave labor. Slave labor was so profitable, most slave owners treated their slaves as property. Beatings, starvation, and overworking were common practices on the plantations. The slave owners didn’t care because they were making money from the

Was the Georgia colony a success or failure? While the colony of Georgia was successful in defense however; charity and economy were a disappointment. In 1732 King George 2 granted a charter by giving named trustees permission to establish the Georgia Colony. Until 1752 the Georgia Colony had seen both dark and light moments; some of which include the construction of the settlement, the establishment of Fort Frederica, as well as declaring war on Spain. The corporation was made to be a charitable body, so none of the trustees could receive or buy land of their own. Also Because of the small amount of land everyone on the new settlement received there were several complaints about going into poverty and not having enough slaves or workers to help establish the colony. James Oglethorpe and 20 other trustees finally decided that they would do whatever it took to make the colony a utopian city.

In 1629 King Charles decided to make England a colony. In 1729 north and South Carolina a colony. The colony's were taken over by the King and started to be a colony. The first settlement was Charles Town’s. England was one of the colonies.

Trade during colonial America was done between Europe, Africa, and the New World. They traded food, natural resources, animals, and slaves. History proves to show that trade highly increases economies and through the Triangular Trade route the economy of the colonies shot up. It was really easy for colonists to buy slaves from Africa and have them shipped across the Middle Passage just as easy as it was to be over an indentured servant. As stated above, colonists preferred slaves over indentured servants, so they chose African slaves. This allowed for a rapid growth in the number of slaves within the British North American colonies that increased trade and economic power for the colonies.

Georgia received its name, in 1732, in honor of George II, King of England the Georgia territory had previously been at the center of a conflict between Britain and Spain. The creation of the colony of Georgia made it the last of the original 13 American colonies. Under the direction of the trustees, Georgia survived but did not prosper. Georgia was the last of the thirteen colonies to be planted. Georgia was used as a buffer to protect Caroline’s from dangerous Spaniards from Florida and unfriendly French from Louisiana. Georgia suffered through the must buffering especially when the wars broke out between Spain and Britain in the European arena. Georgia was a place to start a new life and also a place to also achieve financial success. The

As a result of this, these societies started to rely on agriculture and most of the cash crops were being exported, this was not good for the economy. England passed many laws one being that the colonies can only trade certain exports (tobacco, sugar, rice, etc.) with England and English ports which limited trade even further. England controlling exports diminished opportunities to trade with many more countries. England was controlling the cash crops which made prices much more expensive and seemed to benefit England quite a bit. Cash crops started to boost the economy which lead for a higher demand in slaves. England set up the colonies mainly to benefit their already powerful country, and this is also why they would only let the colonies trade exports with their ports basically creating a monopoly. This may seem like an overall positive thing, but actually this helped expand the rich and poor gap in the colonies. Either you were a slave or a plantations worker, or the person who was getting rich from the slaves or plantation workers. After agriculture really started to take hold in Chesapeake and South Carolina, the slave population was bigger than the rest of the population that in those societies. This shows how many plantations needed workers to keep the economy going. Each colony may have relied on different crops, but they all had similar experiences as a

Chapter one, titled “The Georgia Plan” describes how Georgia was colonized so those in the overcrowded debtor’s prisons in England had a place to go and work. Chapter one also talks about the influence of the Native Americans in Georgia the Spanish around them. Chapter two, “The Inhabited Landscape”, outlines the various techniques the settlers used for farming and growing food and their failures along the way. Chapter two also tells about the settler’s disappointment in the land because it was not the type of soil or climate they

By the 1700’s, The northern and souther colonies had evolved into two distinct societies. This is so because the northern and southern colonies had different environments and also different reasons of settlement. The North was established for mainly religious freedom, while on the other hand, the south had been established for economic freedom. The climate also affected the different turnout of the north and the south. The north was much colder and so their soil was not beneficial for farming, so the people of the north found other jobs, while on the other side, the south had rich soil and the colonists there used that idea to set up huge plantations and farms.

And its abolitionist and free thinking.Meanwhile, the south’s colony is characterized by the controversy of slavery and the cash crops they produced

A man of the name James Oglethorpe that lived in Britain wanted to start a new life in the New World with a few other people due to a lack of jobs and poverty. James went to the king of Britain, King George II, so he could get permission to venture to America. James and King George II eventually made a deal that James would have to claim land for Britain in America. Later, Georgia was named after the

During the Charter period of 1732, Georgia is a success because there was a lot of problems Georgia had to go through that made Georgia that good of a colony. In many different opinions, some may think that Georgia was a really good colony and a good place to be in. Was Georgia’s charter really a success? Or was it a Failure.To prove their statement, Georgia had charity, defense and their climate, soil, and land that makes Georgia a success.

Some of the reasons the colonists came to the Southern Colonies from the first place was to seek economic

There were similarities and differences in the economy of New england and the Southern colonies. New England colonies had small farms, lumberjacks, and shipbuilders. The colonies were near the Atlantic Ocean to help with their jobs. The coast helped the colonists trade. New England did not have slaves instead they used indentured servants to help with labor. These servants in a passage to the New World and after about 7 years they are given land and freedom. On the other hand, to make money in the South they would sell slaves to make a profit. The slaves did most of the work on their plantations. The slaves would do all of the work so their owners could make the money from the crops they grew. When they were traveling on the ship to be sold the conditions were terrible. The ship was very crowded and many of the slaves got sick. According to “The Slave Flyer” it states that they made sure the slaves didn't have smallpox because they would be able to sell them for more money if they seemed to be in good condition. They didn't care if they were not healthy they just wanted them to look healthy (Doc 8). Many people came to the South only to find gold. They only cared about finding gold so they didn't build houses or get prepared for what might happen to them. They just looked
