Abstract
Though claiming a large area, settled Georgia was a small colony, extending down the seacoast from its main port of Savannah and up the Savannah River to Augusta, with fewer than a dozen places that could be called towns. The British had carefully nurtured this colony since shortly before the final struggle with France for control of the North American continent in the middle of the eighteenth century. Most of the colony’s trade was with British; and it was prosperous, even though by 1774 the population was only about 35,000, of whom 15,000 were slaves.
