Answer:

During the 1730s, Scottish settler Patrick Tailfer led a group of colonists, knowns as the Malcontents, in protest of various laws and policies enforced by the Georgia Trustees. ... In particular, the Malcontents objected to the Trustees' limits on landownership and prohibitions on slavery and rum.
