C. To form large plantations

This option is NOT a reason that Oglethorpe and the trustees wanted to establish the colony of Georgia. Their motivations were more focused on helping the poor, improving the English economy, and providing a defense buffer against Spanish Florida, rather than promoting large plantations.

False. Under the Charter of 1732, which established the colony of Georgia, slavery was prohibited. The founders, including James Oglethorpe, intended Georgia to be a place for poor people and the working class, and they sought to avoid the plantation system that relied on slave labor. This prohibition on slavery remained until it was lifted in the 1750s.

C. Limited land ownership

Under the Charter of 1732, the Georgia colony had restrictions on land ownership; specifically, individuals were limited in the amount of land they could own. Slavery was prohibited, alcohol was not allowed initially (though this restriction was later lifted), and Catholics were also excluded from settlement in the colony at the time of its founding.
