Government
The first twenty years of Georgia history are referred to as Trustee Georgia because during that time a Board of Trustees governed the colony. James Oglethorpe ruled Georgia for 20 years. He made every decision. Then, the British king said he wanted to control Georgia. After that, the king named the leaders. The trustees did not trust the colonists to make their own laws. They therefore did not establish a representative assembly, although every other mainland colony had one. The trustees made all laws for the colony.
Exports & Religion
Religion: In Georgia debtors as well as persecuted Christians and Jews could find refuge and start over in a new land. Since the colonial days, Georgia has remained a state that cherishes religious freedom. But religion here is Primarily Baptist and Angelican. Oglethorpe extended freedom of religion to all Christians except for Catholics because at the time, Catholicism was unpopular in England. Oglethorpe also worried about the influence of Catholics in where the Spanish settled.
