The option that is NOT a reason that Oglethorpe and the trustees wanted to start the colony of Georgia is "To form large plantations." While they aimed to help the poor, support the economy, and provide defense, the formation of large plantations was not a primary objective of the colony's founding.
The correct response is: A person who holds responsibility and acts on behalf of others. A trustee is someone who is entrusted with managing the interests or assets of others and has a responsibility to act in their best interests.
False. Under the Charter of 1732, farmers in Georgia were initially prohibited from owning slaves. This was part of the colony's founding principles, which aimed to create a different type of society compared to other Southern colonies. Slavery was later legalized in Georgia in 1750.
The option that was allowed in the Georgia colony under the Charter of 1732 is Limited land ownership. Initially, the Charter of 1732 allowed settlers to own limited amounts of land, but it prohibited slavery, alcohol, and the settlement of Catholics.
