Answer 1

Looking Back:

- The compass rose with the 4 cardinal directions has been drawn.
- Tomochichi, Mary Musgrove, and James Oglethorpe were all key figures in the establishment of the Georgia colony. Tomochichi was a Native American chief who formed a close alliance with James Oglethorpe, the founder of Georgia, and helped negotiate peaceful relations between the Native Americans and the colonists. Mary Musgrove, a Native American interpreter and businesswoman, played a crucial role as a cultural mediator between the Native Americans and the colonists, helping to establish trade and maintain peace in the region.

- When a country exports more than it imports, it is called a trade surplus.

- Water provided a source of drinking water for early colonists and Native Americans. It is also used for recreational purposes (fun), such as swimming, boating, and fishing. Additionally, waterways and ports are crucial for transportation and commerce (think about who runs the ports), supporting trade and boosting the economy.

- The river that flows along the eastern border of the state and flows into the Atlantic Ocean is the Savannah River.

Looking Around:

- The French and Indian War was fought between the British and their American Indian allies against the French and their American Indian allies.

- Georgia was impacted by the French and Indian War as it brought conflict and disruption to the region. The war led to the establishment of British forts in Georgia to provide protection against the French and their American Indian allies. It also resulted in increased British control over Native American lands and territories, causing tensions and conflicts with the Native American tribes in Georgia.

- Georgia was largely impacted by the Proclamation of 1763. The proclamation banned colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains, including parts of Georgia. This restricted the expansion of Georgia into Native American territories.

- FALSE. Georgia was impacted by the Stamp Act, but not to a significant extent as it was still a small colony with a relatively low population. However, there were still people in Georgia who were affected by the tax on stamped paper and documents required by the act.

- King George III was the king of Great Britain at this time.

- The colonies banded together and formed the Stamp Act Congress to protest the Stamp Act.

- The group specifically formed in Georgia to protest the Stamp Act was called the Liberty Boys.

Looking Forward:

- The part of the Declaration of Independence that stated that the colonists were leaving the rule of the king is known as the Declaration of Independence itself.

- One of the signers of the Declaration of Independence from Georgia was Button Gwinnett.
