Georgia is the last of the thirteen British colonies, and was formed in 1732 AD by James Oglethrop. In 1733, a group of settlers joined Oglethrop and established Savannah within the colony of Georgia. Initially, slavery was prohibited within Georgia. However, after Georgia became a royal colony in 1752, the ban on slavery was lifted and agriculture and slavery became an essential part of the colony's economy. Georgia was One of the first colonies to ratify the new constitution after the end of the American Revolutionary War of Independence.

While the Spanish were the first to discover Georgia but did not establish any colonies there, and in 1540 Hernando de Soto traveled through Georgia and made imaginative notes about the Native Americans he found there, Spanish expeditions were also sent along the Georgia coast, and later English settlers from other settlements began to travel to the territory of Georgia to trade and trade with the natives present there.

As for the settlement of Georgia, it was established in 1732 AD, and this makes it the last British colony established in America among the thirteen settlements that were established before the American Revolution, and then it was established fifty years after the establishment of the colony of Pennsylvania, and the reason for its establishment was that British soldier James Oglethrop had seen that The best way to deal with convicted criminals who were occupying a large area of ​​the prisons, is to send them to work on establishing new colonies.

But in fact, when King George II gave James Oglethrop the order to establish a new colony bearing his name (Georgia), he intended to serve a different purpose than what Oglethrop wanted. By establishing a colony between South Carolina and Florida, the king wanted to protect the other southern colonies from the most important possible Spanish attacks on the British colonies.

The area of ​​the first colony was larger than present-day Georgia and also larger than the present-day states of Alabama and Mississippi, and in fact no prisoners were sent to the state of Georgia, and the colonists were tasked with building a set of forts along the coast of Georgia to repel any Spanish attacks on the colony or other colonies. Indeed, the settlers repelled a number of Spanish raids on the colony, which was unique among the other colonies.

As no local governor was appointed from the colony's residents to supervise it, but instead a board of trustees was established from London to manage the affairs of the colony, and this board chose to prevent slavery, the Catholic religion, drinking rum and the legal profession in the colony. The British Parliament chose the Royal Board of Trustees to rule it.

This council retained power until 1776 AD, and at the beginning of the American War of Independence, Georgia did not have a real presence in the revolution against Great Britain. On the contrary, due to its strong relationship with the mother country, most of the population of the colony sided with the British, but some strong leaders appeared in Georgia and they participated In the battle of independence, they signed the Declaration of Independence, and Georgia became the fourth state to sign the American Constitution.
