  2. Writing Prompt: My Own Colony • If given the opportunity to create a new colony, what would be your reasons for creating a new colony? What purpose would you and your colony serve? Who would be invited to be a member of your colony and why? • Include a name for your colony • Think about where your colony would be located (on an island in the Caribbean, the South Pole, etc.) • Be sure to include justification for what purpose your colony would serve and why certain people would be invited to your colony.

  3. Warm-Up: 9/8/14 1. For what reasons was the Georgia colony established? 2. Who is known as the “founder of Georgia”? 3. Who is the Georgia colony named after? Agenda: - Notes: Colonial GA

  4. Founding of Colonial Georgia

  5. Colonization of GA • England had established North and South Carolina • Continuous attacks by the Spanish on Charleston; major shipping city for England • Recognized need for a buffer colony between South Carolina and Florida • Attempts made in 1717 (Azilia) and 1721 (Fort King George) • Both attempts failed/abandoned

  6. Colonization of GA • James Oglethorpe • member of the Parliament of England • Argued for prison reform and spoke out against slavery • proposed to the king that a colony be established that would take people from prison and give them a new start in the new settlement. • Colony would be run by a group of Trustees- 21 men to oversee and govern the colony • 1730- charter drafted to create the Georgia colony, named after King George II • Charter to create GA approved in 1732

  7. Colonization of GA • Charter of 1732 • Task: Read the Charter of 1732. In your notebooks, list the three purposes, as outlined in the charter, that are given for establishing the Georgia colony. What are the justifications for these purposes? 1. What were some of the reasons England began colonizing North America? What conditions in England inspired James Oglethorpe’s vision of Georgia? 2. How did the Trustees initially attract colonists to come to Georgia? 3. What rules were established to make Georgia different from the other American colonies? 4. The Georgia Trustees made a rule that said all colonists would receive equal amounts of land. Explain their purpose in making this rule. 5. Why was Yamacraw Bluff selected as the site for the Georgia colonists?

  8. Important People & Groups in the Colonization of GeorgiaDirections: In your groups research each of the groups & individuals listed and record why they are important to the establishment of Colonial Georgia (what they did, how they helped the colony, etc.). Then, answer the review/discussion questions at the bottom of the page. Discussion Questions: 1. How would you evaluate James Oglethorpe’s leadership of the Georgia colony? 2. What do you think Tomochichi wanted from the English in return for land? Why? 3. Why do you think it was necessary to have someone like Tomochichi play the role he did in the establishment and settlement of Georgia? 4. Mary Musgrove is often referred to as a “cultural liaison”. How does this term describe her role in the establishment of the Georgia colony? 5. Do you think the settlement of Georgia would have been as successful without the help of groups such as the Salzburgers and Highland Scots? Explain.

  9. The Trustee Period of Georgia • Trustees- 21 men (including James Oglethorpe) entrusted by King George II to manage the colony • During this time, England is at war with Spain- The War of Jenkins’ Ear • Spain makes an attempt at attacking Georgia and results in the Battle of Bloody Marsh • July 7, 1742- near St. Simon’s Island • English victory • Significance- Spain retreats and never again attempt to invade the English colonies; England has a clear claim to Georgia and begins to expand its territory

  10. The Trustee Period of Georgia • Established rules the settlers had to follow • Very strict land rules- only 50 acres of land, women could not own or inherit land, could only grow certain things • No rum or hard liquor • No slavery allowed in Georgia • Becomes harder and harder for Georgians to make money with these rules and a group known as the “Malcontents” form to oppose Oglethorpe and the Trustees.

  15. ROYAL COLONY • LAND OWNERSHIP • colonists allowed to own and sell more land • large plantations farms with slave labor • social classes developed • border of Georgia increased south to St. Mary’s River and west to Mississippi River • SLAVERY • only wealthy could own slaves • worked on rice plantations • planters bought more and more land • changed the economy of Georgia – grew rich • slaves were property and had no rights • GOVERNMENT • Royal governors appointed by King • Trustee laws repealed • bi-cameral legislature • white males with property could vote • colonists had more freedom: self-government • court system to settle disputes
