Georgia was referred to as the "debatable land" due to its contentious status between British and Spanish colonial interests in the 18th century. The region, situated between British-held South Carolina and Spanish-controlled Florida, was marked by disputes over territorial boundaries. This ambiguity made it a focal point for conflict and negotiation, as both colonial powers sought to assert their claims and expand their influence in North America. Ultimately, the establishment of Georgia as a British colony in 1732 aimed to solidify British presence in the area.
