Question

Why was georgia governed by different rules than the other southern colonies

Answer 1

It was founded for Humanitarian reasons

Answer 2

Georgia was different from the other twelve colonies. It received money from Parliament to get it started, and alone of the 12 colonies, prohibited slavery and the import of alcohol. It is generally believed that lawyers were not allowed in the colony, but no legislation has been found to prove it. The settlers had no control of their own government - it was entirely ruled by the trustees
