Georgia's Colonial Period

You always want to export more than you import; a country attempts to gain wealth through trade with other countries-which word reflects this?

• free trade

• tariff

• mercantilism

• import

Typically, a colony makes the ________________ the MAIN priority, with regard to seeking out natural resources/raw materials, growing crops, etc.

• Colonists

• local Native population

• mother country

• surrounding colonies

Despite rice, indigo, and tobacco becoming the GA Colony's cash crops, the colonists were REALLY hoping to produce ______, which never quite took-off (not the right climate conditions in South GA).

• peaches

• grapes

• silk

• pecans

Hired by Oglethorpe for their fighting skills:

• Jews

• Malcontents

• Salzburgers

• Highland Scots

This group of Colonists paid for their own journey to GA. They felt the rules imposed on other Colonists didn't apply to them. They were unhappy with the ban on rum and slaves, and land ownership limitations-they felt it held them back economically.

• Salzburgers

• Malcontents

• Jews

• Highland Scots

The Ga settlers changed their mind about these banned immigrants once their doctor saved the lives of many sickly colonists. (The colony's only doctor died, and Dr. Nunes took his place.)

• Highland Scots

• Salzburgers

• The Jews

• Malcontents

Hard-working, German-speaking Protestant refugees from Austria. They created the towns of Ebenezer/New Ebenezer. Had some success with silk production. Built a grist mill. Successful colonists.

• Malcontents

• Highland Scots

• Jews

• Salzburgers

Because GA was the last of the original 13 Colonies (the youngest colony under the "ownership" of the British Empire) the colonists....

• felt they needed to divide their loyalty.

• had no special ties to England and the King.

• felt they should remain loyal to King George.

• decided to save all the materials and natural resources for themselves.

On this day, James Oglethorpe and the first colonists, sailing on the ship called the "Anne", landed in what today is referred to as Savannah.

• July 4th, 1776

• Jan. 2nd, 1788

• Nov. 17th, 1732

• Feb. 12th, 1733

How did Tomochichi assist Oglethorpe with the GA Colony?

• Mary Musgrove and Tomachichi decided to sell the land to Oglethorpe (and split the profit).

• Tomochichi lost his power and position within his own tribe, and Oglethorpe simply took the land from the Natives.

• Oglethorpe paid Tomochichi bags of gold and silver in exchange for the land around Savannah.

• Tomochichi gave the land around modern-day Savannah to Oglethorpe (he and Oglethorpe reached an agreement).
