Which of the following is NOT true about Georgia's transition to a royal colony?

Question

A. After pressure from groups including the Malcontents, slavery became legal

B. Alcohol became legal in the Georgia colony

C. Colonists were allowed to buy and sell land

D. The trustees remained in control of Georgia's government

Answer 1

D. The trustees remained in control of Georgia's government

This statement is NOT true because when Georgia transitioned to a royal colony in 1752, the trustees lost control, and the colony came under the direct rule of the British crown, meaning that royal governors managed the colony instead of the trustees.
