The Colonization of Georgia EQ: Why did England create Georgia as the 13 th colony? SS8H2: Students will analyze the colonial period of Georgia’s history.

What people do I need to know?  James Edward Oglethorpe-founder of the colony; wrote the charter of 1732 asking permission from the King  Robert Castell-Oglethorpe’s friend who died in prison and designed the city of Savannah  King George II-King of England  Chief Tomochichi-the leader of the Yamacraw Indians who became friends with Oglethorpe  Mary Musgrove-the Indian interpreter for Oglethorpe

Georgia becomes a Colony  In 1732, King George signed the Charter for Georgia to be a trustee colony for 21 years.  It included the land between the Savannah and Altamaha rivers and extended west to the Pacific Ocean.  Oglethorpe promised that silk, dyes, wine, spices, and semitropical fruit would be sent from Georgia back to England.

Reasons for Georgia to become a colony. 1.Charity-allow the working poor who faced jail because of debt to start over. 2.Economics- to provide raw materials to England to help them export more than they imported (mercantilism) 3.Defense- to protect the other British colonies from Indians, French and Spanish

Georgia’s Charter  Trustees Couldn’t 1.Own land 2.Hold political office 3.Get paid for their work

Georgia’s Charter cont’d People NOT Allowed to live in Georgia  Catholics-The Church of England didn’t like them  Black People-So slavery wouldn’t get started  Lawyers-Colonists need to settle problems on their own (out of court)  Liquor Dealers-Drinking would keep people from working

The First Georgia Colonists  Debtors, former prisoners, or working poor never made it to Georgia during its early settlement.  Between 114 and 125 settlers sailed form England on the ship Ann in  Tomochichi led the settlers to Yamacraw Bluff overlooking the Savannah River. This became the first settlement of the Georgia colony.

Colonist’s had to agree to… 1.Defend the colony against all new enemies. 2.Land given to colonists couldn’t be sold. 3.Land couldn’t be borrowed against, and had to handed down to the male heir. 4.Colonists got seeds and tools and must grow food for the colony. 5.They had to grow mulberry trees to attract silk worms to produce silk. 6.They had to obey all rules set up by trustees.

James Oglethorpe Landed at Yamacraw Bluff to Establish the Colony of Georgia.
