Conections Academy
Charter of 1732
GEORGE the second, by the grace of God, of Great Britain, France and Ireland, king, defender of the faith, and so forth. To all to whom these presents shall come, greeting.
Whereas we are credibly informed, that many of our poor subjects are, through misfortunes and want of employment, reduced to great necessity, insomuch as by their labor they are not able to provide a maintenance for themselves and families; and if they had means to defray their charges of passage, and other expences, incident to new settlements, they would be glad to settle in any of our provinces in America where by cultivating the lands, at present waste and desolate, they might not only gain a comfortable subsistence for themselves and families, but also strengthen our colonies and increase the trade, navigation and wealth of these our realms. And whereas our provinces in North America, have been frequently ravaged by Indian enemies, more especially that of South-Carolina, which in the late War, by the neighboring savages, was laid waste with fire and sword and great numbers of English inhabitants, miserably massacred, and our loving subjects who now inhabit them, by reason of the smallness of their numbers, will in case of a new war, be exposed to the late calamities; inasmuch as their whole southern frontier continueth unsettled, and lieth open to the said savages. And whereas we think it highly becoming our crown and royal dignity, to protect all our loving subjects, be they ever so distant from us; to extend our fatherly compassion even to the meanest and most unfortunate of our people, and to relieve the wants of our above mentioned poor subjects; and that it will be highly conducive for accomplishing those ends, that a regular colony of the said poor people be settled and established in the southern territories of Carolina. According to the text, Georgia was settled for religious reasons. settled for economic reasons. more affordable than other colonies. much safer than other colonies.

Well, it seems like you're in a bit of a pickle! The Charter of 1732 states that Georgia was settled for economic reasons. The purpose was to provide opportunities for poor subjects from Britain to find employment and improve their lives by cultivating the untapped lands in America. So, the answer is B: Settled for economic reasons. Now, go ace that test! Good luck! 🍀🤡
To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the text provided, which is an excerpt from the Charter of 1732. The purpose of this charter was to establish the colony of Georgia.
In the charter, King George II states that he has been informed that many poor subjects in Great Britain are facing difficulties because they do not have employment or means to support themselves and their families. The king expresses his desire to provide these poor subjects with an opportunity to settle in any of the American colonies.
The king also mentions that the southern frontier of South Carolina, which is located near Georgia, is vulnerable to attacks by Indian enemies. He states that it is important for the crown to protect all its loving subjects and extend compassion to the most unfortunate people.
Based on this information, it can be concluded that the main reasons for settling Georgia were economic and military, rather than religious. The settlement was intended to provide a new opportunity for poor subjects to establish themselves and their families, and to strengthen the colonies by increasing trade, navigation, and wealth. It was also seen as a strategic move to establish a regular colony in the southern territories of Carolina, which would provide protection and prevent attacks from Indian enemies.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. Georgia was settled for economic reasons.
