=**__//Georgia//__**= The Province of Georgia, also known as Georgia, was one of the southern colonies. It was the last of the thirteen colonies established by Great Britain. This colony was founded by James Oglethorpe, which arrived in February 12, 1733 at Yamacraw Bluff (Savannah).He was given the charter to do this from King George II. Georgia was located between South Carolina and Florida the location was chosen because it served two reasons one it gave a place where anew and second it was a barrier against Spanish expansion in Florida.

Some of the Significant Events of Georgia were

 * =====In 1733, a group of settlers joined Oglethorpe to found Savannah, Georgia. =====
 * =====Georgia began with the intention to have little landholding and no slavery. However, when it became a royal colony in 1752, plantations and slavey became a major part of the Georgian economy. =====
 * =====Georgia was in the first group of states to ratify the new Constitution after the Revolutionary war ended. =====


 * 1) 1.In the colony of Georgia, there was no specific religion because most of the people that came to Georgia were "outcasts"or people looking for a place were all religions were welcome and even wanted. The only exception were Roman Catholics, which were not welcomed due to the religious wars fought in England.


 * 1) 2. The primary education of upper class children in colonial days included reading, simple math, writing, poems, and prayers. Boys learned math, classical languages, science, geography, history, etiquette, and plantation management. Girls learned reading, writing, and arithmetic to run a household and the social skills to attract a husband. Paper and textbooks were scarce so boys and girls needed to recite their lessons until they memorized them. Regular or lower class children would've been home schooled. Southern colonies didn't have much of a tradition to let them be in public schools. Although some southerners did. For the people in Georgia they believed education was a private matter, and not a concern for the state. Practically most of the people in Georgia was educated in their ways at home or school.
 * 1) 3. Slavery was a problem in Georgia. By 1861, there was about three million African slaves. They didn't have freedom and for all their hard work they didn't get paid. Most of them worked at plantations. There they would pick cotton. A few of the white people owned plantations and had slaves to work there. While, most of the white people didn't own any slaves. After a man by the name Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin in 1793, cotton became the main crop. There were a few rebellions against slaver, which all failed in succeeding. One of the rebellions was led by a man named Nat Turner.
