The Georgian colony was founded in 1733 and its ideal purpose was to ease England's prison for poor debtors by giving them new lives with new lands. However, Georgia's early colonial life was difficult and difficult. It is difficult to find freshwater, breeding sick insects in wetlands, the Indian and Spanish attacks kill a lot of pioneers, and the rules of trustees in Georgia are that colonial workers enjoy political freedom I do not admit. Although colonies almost failed in the first year, they worked hard until 1754 when the trustees dominated the royal governor and appointed them.

Georgia Georgia is the last British colony established in North America. In 1732, General James Oglethorpe and some of his wealthy British friends became new colonial councilors. In the next 21 years, they will help Georgia's growth and prosperity, then regain control of the throne. From the beginning, Georgia was a completely different colony from the other South British colonies. The trustee pursues three goals. It is to fill the new colony with a group of 'precious poor' throughout Europe, which will gain a new starting point for land, employment and a better society. Some British, German, Swiss, Austrian, Scottish, poor Italian, and debtors freed from prison are chosen if there are people who work hard and who claim to be Protestant I guess. The trustee sponsored resettlement of the first settlers and provided 50 acres of land, tools and goods to them during the year.

There may be interesting moments in the colonial life of the Georgian era, but that is absolutely not easy. For colonial new settlers, everything is brand new. The settlers had to build their own house, build fire and find food. All of this work must be done manually. At high temperatures in Georgia it is not easy, especially because there are many layers of clothing. Insects and diseases are also prevalent, and one third of the settlers have died due to bad conditions. It is true that the lives of children in the colonial period during the Georgian era may be difficult because they may lose parents, become sick, struggle with the needs of daily life.
