The colonial days of Georgia began in 1733 when James Oglethorpe founded the colony as a buffer between South Carolina and Spanish Florida, as well as a place for debtors and the impoverished. Initially, it prohibited slavery and alcohol, promoting a society based on small farms and artisan trades. However, these restrictions were lifted in the mid-18th century, leading to rapid growth and the establishment of plantations. Georgia became a royal colony in 1752, further solidifying its economic ties to agriculture and expanding territorial claims through conflicts with Native American tribes and Spanish forces.
