The Start of The Georgia Colony Unit 3

Today’s Standard SS8H2 The student will analyze the colonial period of Georgia’s history. a. Explain the importance of James Oglethorpe, the Charter of 1732, reasons for settlement (charity, economics, and defense), Tomochichi, Mary Musgrove, and the city of Savannah.

James Oglethorpe Member of the British Parliament British Solider Original job was to oversee the English Prison System

James Oglethorpe The story of how Georgia became a colony starts with him. The founder and father of Georgia. He was a member of England’s Parliament when he became aware of the terrible conditions experienced by citizens thrown into jail for debt. He worked to reform the system, and came up with the idea to help the poor and unemployed by sending them to a new colony in America. In 1730, he, and 20 other men, asked King George II for a charter of land in America.

The Beginning of the Colony King George II of England gave James Oglethorpe a charter to establish another British colony in 1732. During this time the colony of Georgia, named after the king, was led by trustees. Trustees: any person who holds property, authority, or a position of trust or responsibility for the benefit of another, also a trustee can be a person who is allowed to do certain tasks but not able to gain income.

The Charter of 1732 In 1732 King George II finalized the Charter to Georgia. The charter granted Oglethorpe land south of the Savannah River and North of the Altamaha River. King George II liked the idea because a new colony would help England economically and serve as a “buffer colony” – protection between South Carolina and the Spanish in Florida. What is a charter? A paper guaranteeing someone property

The Charter of 1732 In late November 1732 the Ann set sail for the New World 57 days later the Ann arrived in Charlestown, South Carolina Oglethorpe settled on a site 18 miles up the Savannah River called the Yamacraw Bluff On February 12, 1733 the Georgia Colony started to establish themselves.

Charter of 1732 Documents

Why was the Colony of Georgia named Georgia? Oglethorpe promised King George II that he would name new colony after him… thus resulting in the name GEORGIA . The settlement would be called Georgia, in honor of the king.

Why was Georgia Established? To protect the South Carolina Colony from the Spanish in St. Augustine Charity: * Poor and unemployed could apply to go to the new colony. Oglethorpe’s personal reason for founding Georgia. Religion Economic Gain and Profit : * The new colony could send crops back to England for profit

Georgia Almost Did NOT Establish At this time in England, the Catholic religion was flourishing through Europe The Queen opposed the settlement because Jesus only had 12 disciples not 13 The queen approved the charter because South Carolina needed to be protected from the Spanish. Georgia would protect South Carolina at no cost to the government

Georgia’s 1st Settlement Georgia’s 1st settlement was 18 miles up the Savannah River at Yamacraw Bluff, present day Savannah, Georgia When Oglethorpe arrived at Yamacraw Bluff he met a man by the name of Tomochichi.

Tomochichi Tomochichi was the head of the Creek Indians Tomochichi became very close friends with Oglethorpe Tomochichi and the Creek Indians helped the British settlers establish the Georgia Colony

The KEY to Georgia’s Success

Mary Musgrove Mary was the KEY to Georgia’s Success Mary’s mother was Creek and her father was English Mary could speak both the Creek language and English She acted as a negotiator, mediator and interpreter for Oglethorpe

What Mary Musgrove Gave to the British Settlers Mary Musgrove taught Oglethorpe: How to trade fairly Assisted them in opening several trading posts

Savannah, Georgia

Savannah, Georgia Savannah was the first settlement established in Georgia Savannah was the first pre-planned city Savannah had a design of squares with common areas every few squares for churches and public buildings to promote unity within the town Savannah was the first city of its kind in the New World
