Which of these changes occurred in Georgia AFTER it became a royal colony? Choose the TWO that apply.
A. Slavery was permitted in Georgia
B. Alcohol consumption was legalized
C. The Moravians were expelled from Georgia
D. American Indians were granted full citizenship
A. Slavery was permitted in Georgia
C. The Moravians were expelled from Georgia
The two changes that occurred in Georgia after it became a royal colony are:
A. Slavery was permitted in Georgia
C. The Moravians were expelled from Georgia
To determine which of these changes occurred in Georgia after it became a royal colony, we can review the historical context.
Georgia was initially founded as a proprietary colony in 1732 by James Oglethorpe and a group of trustees with the intent of establishing a colony where debtors and the poor could start afresh. However, by 1752, Georgia transitioned into a royal colony, which means it was under direct control of the British crown.
Now, let's evaluate each option:
A. Slavery was permitted in Georgia: This change did occur after Georgia became a royal colony. Under the trustees' rule, slavery was initially banned. However, after the transition to a royal colony, slavery was permitted, making option A correct.
B. Alcohol consumption was legalized: There is no evidence suggesting that alcohol consumption was made illegal during the trustees' rule or that it was subsequently legalized after Georgia became a royal colony. Therefore, option B is incorrect.
C. The Moravians were expelled from Georgia: The Moravians, a religious group, had settled in Georgia during the trustees' rule. However, there is no evidence supporting their expulsion after Georgia became a royal colony. Thus, option C is incorrect.
D. American Indians were granted full citizenship: The policy towards American Indians in Georgia did not change after it became a royal colony. It is important to note that American Indians were not granted full citizenship during this period. Therefore, option D is incorrect.
Based on the historical context and evaluating each option, the correct answers are:
A. Slavery was permitted in Georgia
D. American Indians were granted full citizenship
It is worth noting that slavery was permitted, but American Indians were not granted full citizenship during Georgia's time as a royal colony.
