Best Answer

Georgia had a diverse collection of European settlers in the original Georgia colony. Initially, people from the other American colonies were barred from living in Georgia. Settlers were either charity settlers, who had been financed by the colony's trustees or adventures who paid their own way and received the best land grants. Initially, the colony was to focus on the growth of silk fiber. Settlers were required to plant a set number of Mulberry trees. Slavery was also prohibited. But after the silk industry floundered and the slavery ban was found to be restrictive to development, those restrictions disappeared.
