Most of the settlers spoke Gaelic when they first arrived. Eventually they took part in colonial politics and many believed that slavery should not be allowed in the colony. Though most of these new settlers were Presbyterian, they got along well with the other Protestants in the colony.

the Highland Scots

Answer 1

the Highland Scots

Step-by-step explanation:

The trustee period is the period covering the first 20 years of Georgia history, from 1732 to 1752 the province of Georgia was governed by a board of trustees that chose Georgia as a location for the resettlement of English debtors and “worthy poor". The malcontents were in displeasure with the policies of General James Oglethorpe, and Georgia trustees, the border ruffians were pro-slavery activists from the slave state of Missouri, the Salzburgers were a group of German-speaking protestant colonists. The Scottish Highlanders were a group of settlers that came to help defend Georgia from Spanish invaders, they were into the finest soldiers in the world and were recruited by General Oglethorpe to fight against the Spanish colony in Florida, plus the Gaelic languages were spoken between Scottish people.
