Georgia Studies Unit 2: Exploration and Colonization Lesson 3: Georgia as a Royal Colony

Lesson 3: Georgia as a Royal Colony Essential Question How did Georgia change as it transitioned from the Trustee Period to the Royal Colony Period? What impact did the three Royal Governors (Reynolds, Wright, and Ellis) have on the development of Georgia?

End of the Trustee Period and a change in Government Georgia became a Royal Colony (a colony overseen by the crown of England) when the Trustee Period ended in 1752. The British Parliament had to pass a charter in order for Georgia to become an official Royal Colony. This process took two years and Georgia got its first Royal Governor in 1754. The government of Georgia would change drastically as the people, under the leadership of the Royal Governor, would have to govern themselves.

The Three Royal Governors; John Reynolds John Reynolds- Georgia’s first Royal Governor (1754-1757) Governor Reynolds introduced the idea of self- government to the colonist and assisted in the creation of a bicameral ( 2 house) legislature and the creation of a court system. Eventually, due to a disagreement between the legislature and the governor the legislature was sent home. Reynolds tried and failed to rule Georgia by himself. ( In 1757 Parliament recalled Reynolds saying he was ineffective)

Three Royal Governors: Henry Ellis Henry Ellis – Georgia’s second royal governor Governed from 1757-1760 Governor Ellis tried to learn from the mistakes of John Reynolds. Ellis set up a budget and regulated trade with the Native Americans. In 1759, Henry Ellis became ill and returned to Great Britain. He was replaced as the governor of Georgia in 1760.

Three Royal Governors: James Wright James Wright – Georgia’s third (and last) royal governor. Governed from 1760-1776 During Governor Wright’s term in office the size of Georgia increased. After the French and Indian War ended in 1763, Georgia gained a large amount of land. Governor Wright believed Georgia could be even more profitable for England by allowing farmers (and their slaves) to live and work on this land James Wright continued to serve as the Royal Governor of Georgia until the beginning of the American Revolution.

Land Ownership Settlers who came to colony of Georgia during the Trustee Period were limited in the amount of land they could own. People who came by the way of the Trust's charity were limited to 50 acres of land. People who paid their way could have up to 500 acres of land. During the Trustee Period of Georgia’s history only men could own or inherit land. Many colonists were angry about his and wanted women to be able to own/inherit land As Georgia continued to develop as a Royal Colony citizens were given the opportunity to purchase more land (and use slaves to work the land) and women were allowed to inherit land

Slavery During the beginning of the Trustee Period, Georgia’s state law prohibited slavery (slavery was not allowed). Wealthy colonists who could afford to buy enslaved people demanded to be allowed to bring them to Georgia. Many farmers believed that in order to compete with neighboring states (like South Carolina) they had to be allowed to own slaves. Between 1750 and 1775, the number of Africans living in slavery increased from 500 to 18,000. These slaves had no rights, were not allowed to marry, were not allowed to live where they wanted, Slaves who broke these rules were punished, including beatings, whippings, separation from friends and family, and even death.
