Lauren!!! If you're going to be a REAL student, you must learn to be an independent learner. You need to find as much information as you can on your own!!

Ok ok !!!!!

I do find as much information as I can as my own!!!! One time I found lots of info for the science fair and it was over 40 pages!!!!!!! Plus today we did imdepent work and I found tons of answer from the text book!!!!

Sure! I'd be happy to help you understand the causes for the founding of the colonies you mentioned.

a) Maryland: The main causes for the founding of Maryland in 1632 were profit from land, religious freedom, and political freedom. Maryland was established as a proprietary colony under a charter granted to Lord Baltimore, also known as George Calvert. Lord Baltimore envisioned Maryland as a profitable venture that would bring economic benefits to English investors. Additionally, Maryland was intended to be a haven for English Catholics who faced religious persecution in England. Lord Baltimore sought to create a colony where Catholics could practice their faith freely. The idea of political freedom was also important, as Lord Baltimore granted colonists the right to participate in their own governance through an elected assembly.

b) Georgia: Georgia was founded in 1732 with several primary causes in mind. The main cause was profit and economic opportunity. Georgia was established as a proprietary colony under a charter granted to James Oglethorpe, who sought to create a colony where debtors and poor individuals from England could have a fresh start and potentially escape poverty. Oglethorpe also had strategic motives, as Georgia would serve as a buffer zone against Spanish-held Florida. Furthermore, Georgia was intended to create an economic opportunity for English investors by providing a silk and wine industry in the New World.

To summarize, the founding of Maryland was driven by profit from land, religious freedom, and political freedom, while Georgia was founded for profit, as a home for debtors, and as a buffer against Spanish Florida.
