Question

Which of the following is not true concerning the colony of Georgia?

a) Georgia was set up by trustees led by James Oglethorpe.
b) Protestants and Catholics in Georgia made war with the Native Americans on a regular basis.
c) Georgia was set up as a haven for people who had been in jail in England for not paying debts.
d) Georgia was set up to protect other Southern Colonies from attack by Spanish raiders from Florida.

Answer 1

The correct answer is b) Protestants and Catholics in Georgia made war with the Native Americans on a regular basis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is b) Protestants and Catholics in Georgia made war with the Native Americans on a regular basis.

While Georgia was set up by trustees led by James Oglethorpe (a) and was established as a haven for people who had been in jail in England for not paying debts (c), the statement in option b is not true. In reality, the relationship between the colonists and Native Americans in Georgia was complex and varied over time, but it did not involve regular wars between Protestants, Catholics, and Native Americans.

During the colonial period, the British colony of Georgia encountered conflicts with Native American tribes, but these conflicts were not characterized by religious divisions. Instead, they were often the result of competition for land and resources.
