7) Which statement about early Georgia settlers is BEST supported by information in the quotation?

The colony of Georgia lying about the same latitude with part of China, Persia, Palestine, and the Madeiras, it is highly probable that when hereafter it shall be well peopled and rightly cultivated, England may be supplied from thence with raw Silk, Wine, Oil, Dyes, [Medicines], and many other materials for manufactures, which she is obliged to purchase from Southern countries. ---James Oglethorpe, 1733
