All of the reasons mentioned contributed to Georgia's slower support for the Revolutionary War. Georgia's trade with French and Spanish colonies made its residents financially dependent on those connections and reluctant to jeopardize them through war. Additionally, Georgia had a significant Native American population, particularly the Creek Indians, with whom they had developed strong relationships. The fear that a war could harm these alliances further contributed to their hesitation to support the revolution. Moreover, as one of the youngest colonies, Georgia had a higher percentage of residents who still felt loyalty towards Britain, particularly among the older generation who had maintained closer ties with the British Empire. Lastly, Georgia received substantial financial support from Britain, giving them a vested interest in maintaining their relationship with the mother country.
