The Trustees never achieved the economic success they’d hoped for — their bans on slavery and large landholdings, restrictions on rum, and inability to fund defense and administration made the colony unpopular and unprofitable. Facing colonist complaints and financial strains, the Trustees surrendered the charter and Georgia became a royal colony.
