Was the Georgia colony a success or failure? While the colony of Georgia was successful in defense however; charity and economy were a disappointment. In 1732 King George 2 granted a charter by giving named trustees permission to establish the Georgia Colony. Until 1752 the Georgia Colony had seen both dark and light moments; some of which include the construction of the settlement, the establishment of Fort Frederica, as well as declaring war on Spain. The corporation was made to be a charitable body, so none of the trustees could receive or buy land of their own. Also Because of the small amount of land everyone on the new settlement received there were several complaints about going into poverty and not having enough slaves or workers to help establish the colony. James Oglethorpe and 20 other trustees finally decided that they would do whatever it took to make the colony a utopian city.
The first two decades of Georgia history are mentioned as Trustee Georgia, because during that period of Georgia a group of Trustees Governed the colony. I think there were a few positives such as cotton, rice and indigo plantations being established and converting people to being Christians. But I think there were a lot of negatives as well. Such as, Slaves being brought into the country, causing conflict about Christianity, and banning Catholics. Banning Catholics was also a plus though, because of the threat of the Spanish. I honestly think the rule of the Trustees was a success because it helped Georgia and the states around it become what they are today.

For instance their military structure and academy resembles the same one we have here in the United States. Unlike America, Georgia has a high population of people who smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol which is due to the fact that there are no age restrictions on either of them. Some instructors from the mountain school we attended even pointed out that Georgians make their own wine. The food is also very delicious but different. It is always fresh, hot and for the most part delicious. This did not surprise me however it did make me feel that in America especially in New York we are fortunate to have on every corner a different type of restaurant. There is not that much diversity with the Georgia dishes. I learned though that the people are ok with that just because they enjoy living there so much. They are very grateful to live in Georgia and they are grateful when foreigners take the time to appreciate it with them. I am very happy to go on this trip I learned a lot about this country as well as myself. I look forward one day down my Army career to go there again maybe even as a vacation

I will open the discussion of this paper with the term utilitarianism, an ethical philosophy in which the happiness of the greatest number of people in the society is considered the greatest good. According to this philosophy, an action is morally right if its consequences lead to happiness (absence of pain), and wrong if it ends in unhappiness (pain) businessdictionary.com. There have been countless debates about how should the State of Georgia will respond to the needs of Georgians, the interest of the state and interest of business to the Religious Freedom Bill.
