Oglethorpe made American Indian trade an important part of Georgia’s economy.
He sought peaceful relations and alliances with local tribes (e.g., the Creek and Yamacraw), regulated trade with them, and used diplomacy and commerce rather than coercion. He also banned the sale of rum to Indians and initially opposed slavery in the colony, but he did not give them representation in colonial government.
