What is the colonial policy of Georgia?
I need to know this for a school project
Georgia was the youngest of all 13 colonies. They were also dependent on trade with Britain. The colony was divided over whether or not to participate in the movement for independence, because you still need assistance. They had been only an autonomous government since 1754, so this was very new to them. His third Royal Governor, James Wright, has been highly appreciated by most Georgians. He has done much to expand the boundaries of the colony and development trade with England. As the colonists grew to reject the tax policies of Parliament, the Georgians knew they had to take a decision: to rebel against the king and Parliament, or to remain faithful to both. Loyalists or Tories, as they were called, tended to first-generation settlers. The rebels, called Whigs or patriots, tended to be the son of the settlers themselves. I've never experienced anything known in England, but the colony of Georgia. His parents had come for the freedom and the child to maintain that freedom. In fact, when the colony finally decided to revolt (after his hearing in Lexington and Concord), was James Habersham, a loyal son of the governor adopted by Wright. James was part of a group called the Liberty Boys, a branch of the Sons of Liberty formed in Massachusetts by Samuel Adams. The loyalists, mostly fled from Georgia. Some stayed and lived on their street and large tracts of land. The Patriots prevailed and joined the Revolution in 1776. In 1777, Georgia established its first constitution and the government to give the legislature of any power. However, the policy of the colony was in third divded: third third conservative Whigs / loyalists and others said they were neutral.
