Why Did Georgia Become A New Colony Summary
One of the main points ,or the thesis as you could call it, is that Georgia became a colony in a very different manner than its predecessors. It is shown that Georgia had many influences from not only the British West Indies, but also from its neighboring colonies of the Carolina’s, but Pressly wants to convey that Georgia had many other influences and became a prosperous new colony on its own.

    It is important to point out that English settlers were a definite majority of those in North America during the entire eighteenth century. However, the proportion declined from about twenty to one in 1700 to only about three to one by 1775. So a good essay should point out that the significance of non-English groups was increasing. The next task is to select three groups from the list and describe the influence of each. Of the non-English settlers, the largest group consisted of Africans, most of whom were enslaved and forced to immigrate. The…

    From a positive intention to a partial disaster, eight words that describe the Georgia Colony of England perfectly. Inspired by his friend who died in prison from debt, James Oglethorpe, co-creator of the colony, intended the colony to be a way for debtors from prison to pay their debts off to England. However, King George and the England Parliament disagree with the idea of having hundreds of debtors to be sent over sea, towards a land very unknown to England. King George actually liked the idea of having people produce more goods for England to export for more money. Afterwards, the King allowed the colony to be created, in all intentions to bring him more wealth, but the colonists had to be the "deserving poor" and these colonists had to produce goods for England while providing defense for South Carolina, a successful England colony.

Despite the motivation behind creating Georgia, the Colony became flawed, in many areas, through development with an emotionally attached leader, Oglethorpe. Therefore, the Georgia Colony, based off the motivations of creation, was an overall a failure.…
