Georgia

Georgia:
Historical Background: Georgia was founded in 1732 by James Ogelthorpe, because he wanted a place where debtors could make a fresh start. Georgia was kind of like a place where you can start over. Oglethorpe would offer to pay for the debtors to move to Georgia. Personally, I think James Oglethorpe had a lot of guts to pull this off. When he talked about his plan for Georgia people probably laughed at him for taking in all these poor people. However I do believe James Oglethorpe was smart because he would find a great occupation for them to do.
Government: In Georgia, there was a good mix between white men and black men, however only white men could vote. These white men were usually rich plantation owners who had many slaves. A constitutional monarchy was in place, because of the close contact with England. Because Georgia belonged to England, England offered financial aid to colonists of Georgia.
Geography: Georgia is located on coast of the Atlantic Ocean fairly south when compared to other colonies. Georgia has great fertile farmland, making the economy of Georgia almost all farming. Along with farming, there were a lot of rivers in Georgia. Also, because of the fertile land and water source, trees were able to grow despite warm temperatures all year around. Georgia is also located just north of a settlement owned by Spain called Florida. Georgia was also used as a barrier between the other colonies and this Spaniard colony.
Economy: Because of the abundant supply of land, farming was the occupation for most people. Georgia had a lot of slaves, because Georgia was closest colony to the Caribbean and Africa, where the slaves came from. These slaves usually worked in the fields of the plantations, and lived very harsh lives. Even though being a slave is hard, it can be rewarding to go back and observe all the work you have accomplished. Most of the tasks the slaves accomplished were planting the two main crops, rice and indigo.
Important Residents: Two important residents from Georgia are James Oglethorpe, the founder, and John Wesley, famous missionary who set up a mission in Georgia.
Religion: Most colonist and slaves from Georgia were protestant Christian. However, because Georgia was close to Florida, a Spaniard colony, many settlers were Catholics too.
Residency Requirements: To be a full time resident of Georgia, you had to be a Protestant Christian.
Founding documents: An important document to the colonists of Georgia was the Constitution of Georgia. It stated government procedures, and also signified that Georgia was a colony which made James Oglethorpe happy.
Selling Point: If you just out of prison and or in debt, and want a fresh start where people will treat you for who you are, then come to Georgia!
Target resident: Anyone who has not fulfilled their dreams in life and are looking for a way to get back on the right track, regardless of race or gender.
