The colony of Georgia
And why to settle there
Why settle in Georgia?
What are the demographics of colonial Georgia?
There was a lot of protest against slavery but the protesters were a minority and Georgia became a slave colony.
The countries that settled in Georgia were predominantly, English,Scottish Highlanders, German, Italian,Swish, and Welsh. Jews and Catholics were originally restricted access into the colony of Georgia. Slavery was at first prohibited but eventually allowed.
One of the reasons why you should come to Georgia is because we are diverse people and therefore except almost everyone and there is no discrimination. We also are a town of many hard working individuals and when one moves to Georgia they find unity with their group of people and are able to support each other.

Type of colony, religion, colonial government, and trade
Georgia trade included a lot of cotton but also lumber, tobacco, fur, dyes, rice, and sugar.
Since we have so much trade our economy is great and when one moves here they find work and do not have to undergo much economic hardship.
Major Events in Georgia
Since Georgia is now industrialized it is a great place to move because there are more public amenities such as railroads and telegraphs, and it is easier for farmers to produce crops than in colonies that are not industrialized.
