Answer 1

Cotton was not grown during the colonial period in Georgia. While it became a major crop in the 19th century, particularly after the invention of the cotton gin, it was not one of the primary crops cultivated in Georgia during the colonial period. The main crops during that time included rice, tobacco, and mulberry trees for silk production.
