Question

Which state was NOT a restoration colony?

Answer 1

Answer: B. Georgia

Explanation:

The English civil wars had led to the rule of Oliver Cromwell from the years 1649 to 1660 and during this time, England stopped further attempts at colonizing the Americas.

Charles II led the restoration of the monarchy though and once in power, granted land in the colonies to the people whose help he had needed to get back on the throne. These colonies were the restoration colonies.

Georgia was not one of these colonies and was founded much later in 1733 by former General, James Oglethorpe as a safe haven for the poor to enable them the opportunity at a new start in life where they could have new opportunities.
