!["Your petitioners beg leave humbly to inform your Majesty, that the lands, to
the west of the [Appalachian] mountains, are extremely fertile, the climate
very fine and healthy, and the waters of the Mississippi [River], and those of
the Potomack [River in Virginia], are only separated by one small ridge of
mountains...; British goods may be carried at little expense, and afforded
reasonably to the Indians in those parts, [if] the lands to the west of the said
mountains were settled, and a fort erected in some proper place there... ; if
your petitioners meet with that success they have the greatest reason to
expect, it will ... extend your Majesty's empire in America;... and, in a
short space of time very considerably increase your Majesty's revenue. . . ."
"Your petitioners, for these great and national ends and purposes... have entered into
partnership, by the name of the Ohio company, to settle these [lands] to the west of the
said mountains.... Your petitioners ... most humbly pray that your Majesty will be
graciously pleased to encourage this their said undertaking, by giving instructions to
your governor of Virginia to grant to your petitioners a tract... of 500,000 acres of
land."
John Hanbury, London merchant, and colonial Virginian investors, petition to King
George II of Great Britain, delivered to the king's ministers in 1748](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Ff448f791-dfcf-461a-9b6f-6f7007a49195%2F9f3d0ce0-8071-4973-a3ac-28ce4f6ce51a%2F10xkx1r_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
The one cause of development depicted in the petition was the great geography and natural resources that the region to the west of the Appalachian had in store. The favorable climatic conditions of the land, the vast amount of fertile soil, the lavish flow of water in both the Mississippi and the Potomac Rivers, lying just on the other side of the mountain gave the region vast opportunities for development and prospects of prosperity. The region was rich in natural resources making it a viable region for economic development.
