Final answer:
After the Trustee Period, Georgia became a royal colony in 1752 when the British Crown assumed control due to Trustees' reduced governance activity and significant economic problems in the colony.
Step-by-step explanation:
After Georgia's Trustee Period, the colony underwent significant changes when control was transferred back to the British king. In the early 1750s, the Board of Trustees governing the colony from London became less active and ceased to meet regularly. Facing economic difficulties, partly because it was the only one of the original thirteen colonies dependent on yearly stipends from the British government, the Trustee system was not sustainable. Colonists found themselves further in debt, with some even fleeing to escape their commitments.
Finally, in 1751, the British Parliament refused to continue funding the colony. Consequently, in 1752, Georgia transitioned from a Trustee to a royal colony, ending the social experiment initiated by the trustees. From that year until the American Revolution, Georgia was governed by a series of royal governors, bringing it in line with the government systems of other colonies at the time.
