when did georgia becoming a Royal colony after the Charter ends take place?
1 answer
Georgia became a Royal colony after the Charter ended on June 23, 1752. It was originally founded as a proprietary colony under a charter granted to the trustees by King George II on April 21, 1732. However, due to mounting financial difficulties and the trustees' inability to successfully manage the colony, Georgia was eventually transitioned into a Royal colony under direct control of the British crown. This transition occurred in 1752 when the trustees surrendered their charter and the colony came under the governance of the king.
