Georgia: The Southern Shield
Where debts are cleared.
A Friend In Need
Georgia is the colony that helps others. Because the Spaniards occupied Florida, South Carolina was exposed. James Oglethorpe seized the opportunity to benefit the poor people in Europe by bringing them over for labor.
What's It Like Down South?
The geography is generally uniform. There is an abundance of forests that allow the harvesting of wood as well as the potential land for plantations and towns. Furthermore, Georgia has a coast allowing ports for trading and more. Cash crops such as cotton and tobacco are rapidly traded and produced causing a flourishing economy here in Georgia.
