True or False: the Malcontents were different from other colonists living in Georgia because they settled in Georgia without financial assistance

1 answer

True. The Malcontents were a group of early colonists in Georgia who were dissatisfied with the regulations and policies imposed by the colonial trustees, particularly regarding land ownership and the prohibition of slavery. Unlike many other settlers who received financial assistance or grants from the trustees, the Malcontents were primarily wealthy individuals who settled in Georgia without that support and sought greater autonomy and economic opportunities.
