  • Threadmarks
    • Governor James Oglethorpe has resigned. Oglethorpe had tried to resign in 1743 but his resignation was rejected by the Board of Trustees. Afterward Oglethorpe continued governing the Colony as usual. But now Oglethorpe had left the colony saying he no longer wished to be Governor as he wished to spend more time with his wife who lived in Britain. This time the Board excepted Oglethorpe's resignation and convened in London to appoint a new Governor. The board chose as Georgia's new Governor...

    [] William Stephens-The first settlers embarked for Georgia in November 1732 and arrived on 1 February 1733 led by James Oglethorpe. The initial optimism of a new colony did not last. Oglethorpe may have been pleased with the colony's progress so far, but the Trustees disagreed. Growing frustration with Oglethorpe's brief and infrequent reports led to the appointment of Stephens as secretary to the Board of Trustees of the Province of Georgia. Stephens landed in Savannah November 1, 1737, and began to settle disputes among the colonists. He stayed several years in this capacity.

    [] Henry Parker-He was bailiff of Savannah in 1734, which office at that time was identical with that of magistrate, and shortly afterward he colonized Isle of Hope. When the province was divided into two counties in 1741, he became an assistant to Sir William Stephens.

    Also going on this time was the cooperative assistance program where if a person or town government adopted Georgia's polices. such as the Town of Augusta was paid 100 pounds to build a port and New Iverness and Savannah were each paid 150 pounds to build a road connecting the two towns.

    The Puritans are coming!!!....and Florida has a deal
  • Threadmarks
    • 1750 was a time of prosperity for Georgia as with the war over the Empires global trade markets were once again at full capacity. This meant that Georgia could export its three main crops indigo, rice, and sugar to the markets in London, Edinburgh and Dublin. This economic prosperity caused a flood of cash to enter into Savannah as the town flourished and expanded. Augusta while not growing like Savannah saw minor growth in there town meanwhile the rest of Georgia grew modestly as new farms were set up and more people moved to the colony.

    Around this time also a group of puritans arrived and surveyed the land between the Ogeechee and Altamaha rivers for possible colonization after a couple of days they came back to Savannah saying they would send for the rest of there group and would settle between the two rivers.

    But probably the highlight of the year was when an emissary from St. Augustine came to Savannah with a deal neither colony or Tribe would attack the other unless there nations were formally at war. This would mean an end to raiding and attacks on the signatory colonies and tribes. Though so far only Florida, The Creek Tribe and The Cherokee Tribe have signed. But this brought up a point..did Georgia want to be part of such agreement

    [] Yes: We will sign!

    [] No: This is Treason!
