Georgia's Colonial Period

James Oglethorpe's hiring of Mary Musgrove had a positive impact on English and American Indian relations because

• she assembled a group of Creek Indians who defended her.

• the American Indians did not communicate with any other Europeans.

• she helped to make fair trades and negotiations between the groups.

• the American Indians saw her hiring as a sign of Oglethorpe's good will.

Tomochichi's trip to England with James Oglethorpe was important because

• the English wanted to meet Oglethorpe's American Indian friends.

• it showed the goodwill between the American Indians and the English.

• Oglethorpe wanted American Indians to act and to talk like the English.

• Tomochichi did not trust James Oglethorpe or the English until the trip.

The government of England MOST LIKELY thought the Georgia colony would make a good military defense because
