To determine which of the options is not something covered by the tree laws enacted by the trustees, we need to understand what these laws were. The tree laws refer to the regulations established by the Board of Trustees for the Province of Georgia during the initial settlement of the colony from 1732 to 1752.
To find the answer, we can eliminate options based on our understanding of the tree laws:
A. Rum and other spirits: The trustees did cover the regulation of rum and other spirits. Georgia was initially established as a "sober" colony, and the trustees aimed to discourage the consumption of alcohol.
B. Slavery: The trustees initially banned slavery in Georgia, as they believed it would lead to an unequal and unjust social system. However, this ban was eventually lifted in 1750.
C. Food crops: The trustees were highly concerned with food security in Georgia and hence encouraged the cultivation of food crops. So, it is likely that food crops were covered by the tree laws.
D. Trade with the Indians: The trustees aimed to establish friendly relations with the Native American tribes. They encouraged trade and peaceful interactions with the indigenous population. Therefore, trade with the Indians was most likely covered in the tree laws.
Based on this analysis, option B (slavery) appears to be the correct answer since it was initially banned but later allowed under the tree laws.
