During the 1730s, the colony of Georgia prohibited the practice of African slavery (Option "C" is the correct answer). The founders of Georgia, who were known as the Trustees, banned black slavery as a matter of public policy. By the mid-1740s, the Trustees realized that prohibiting slavery was becoming a lost cause. So, the Trustees agreed that the ban on slavery would be overturned depending on the conditions for enslaved people. They wished to ensure a smaller ratio of blacks to whites in Georgia. However, the Trustees' ban expired in 1752 and the planters with their slaves soon dominated Georgia colony's government.
Your Answer is C The penal colony of the Province of Georgia under James Oglethorpe banned slavery in 1735, the only one of the thirteen colonies to have done so.
