Compare the Carolinas and Georgia. How did each colony develop a unique culture?

Correct Answer

verifed

verified

This essay must consider that theses colonies were founded after the restoration of the English monarchy and were thus driven by patronage and reward for political support.  These were real proprietary colonies with specific designs for who would settle and rules for settlement. Students should examine the crops that predominated in each region, the social class of the farming population, and how these characteristics affected the expansion of slavery. Unique to Carolina was the relationship to Barbados and the transplantation of very different views of plantations and labor, which resulted in huge profits.  Then students must describe the purposes behind the founding of Georgia, both those of the crown and of the proprietors. Using these issues, students should continue by describing why the colony's charter limited individual freedoms and how these restrictions affected immigration. As the last of the thirteen colonies which would become the United States, how were lessons learned from previous settlement history ignored or applied?

In the end, James Oglethorpe's philanthropic effort to turn the colony of Georgia into a refuge for debtors


A) turned the colony into a poorhouse.
B) failed for a lack of "deserving poor" who could benefit from an opportunity in Georgia.
C) became a role model for the colonies of New Jersey and Delaware.
D) caused the ire of wealthy planters in South Carolina and Virginia.
